SOCHI, October 21. /TASS/. The UN remains a carrier of a healthy conservatism and the spirit of rulemaking, and this heritage must be preserved, Russian President Vladimir Putin said Thursday.

"In the modern turbulent world, it is the UN that remains the carrier of that healthy conservatism in international relations that is so necessary for normalization of the situation," the head of state said.

Putin noted that the UN is a carrier of not only the rules, but of the very spirit of rulemaking based on the principles of equality and accounting of everyone’s opinion.

"It is our obligation to preserve this heritage as we reform this organization, but must not throw away the baby with the bathwater, as they say," the president noted.
