Putin Says He Won't Remain President Forever

President Vladimir Putin said in an interview published Sunday that that he does not intend to remain president for the rest of his life, TASS news agency reported.

Keeping the post of president for too long would be "wrong for the country, harmful, and I don't need that," Putin was cited as saying in an interview with TASS.

In the same interview, Putin said he would not rule out running for re-election in 2018, though he said it is not a decision he is ready to make right now.

"The Constitution permits it, but that doesn't at all mean that I will make that decision," Putin was cited as saying by TASS.

Now there is a question that American presidents don't get asked. I bet Dmitry Medvedev was never asked that question when he was Russia's president. I wonder why. 😊
