Responding to a question whether Russia had ever bought any other oil company for a lower price, the Russian minister said, "OK, don't sell if it's too cheap, you estimated, you gave a price and we said that we accept".
Odgovarajući na pitanje da li je Rusija ikada kupila bilo koju drugu naftnu kompaniju po nižoj ceni, ruski ministar je rekao: "U redu, nemojte prodavati ako je previše jeftino, vi ste procenili, vi ste dali cenu, a mi smo rekli da prihvatamo."
