Putins Rape Comment Overshadows EU Meeting
RUSSIAN president Vladimir Putins quip about rape charges facing the Israeli president has threatened to overshadow a meeting with Israels prime minister Ehud Olmert.
The talks largely focused on Israels conflicts with Hamas and Hezbollah, but comments by Mr Putin when he thought the microphones were off almost stole the show.
Russian website Kommersant reported that, as the press were ushered out before the meeting proper began, Mr Putin said: Say hi to your president. He turned out to be quite a powerful person. He raped 10 women. Were all amazed. We all envy him. This is Putin's disgusting sense of humor? Or did he really envy him?
The Russian media have been quick to try and defend their nations president, speculating that Mr Putin simply wanted to express support for Mr Olmert, who has been put in a difficult position by the Israeli presidents actions.
The news emerged the day before Mr Putin was due to meet EU leaders in what senior diplomats are calling an effort to establish relations between two equal partners.
