MOSCOW: Vladimir Putin mentioned on Friday he would recognize the Russian constitution which bans any person from serving two consecutive presidential phrases, which means he's going to step down from his put up in 2024 when his present time period expires.
His remarks, made to newshounds at an financial discussion board in St Petersburg and broadcast on state TV, don't seem to be a marvel and don't necessarily mean he's going to relinquish power in six years.
Putin has stepped down as president as soon as prior to, in 2008, after serving two back-to-back phrases only to return in 2012 after doing a stint as high minister, a manoeuvre he would be legally entitled to hold out once more.
"I have always strictly abided by and abide by the constitution of the Russian Federation," Putin mentioned, when asked if and when he would be leaving place of work.
"In the constitution it's clearly written that nobody can serve more than two terms in a row ... I intend to abide by this rule."
Putin simply won re-election in March, extending his tenure by six years to 24 - which might make him Moscow's longest-serving chief since Soviet dictator Josef Stalin.
