Linking the development of relations between Russia and Germany, which have their own value, with the crisis in Ukraine is futile, said the Speaker of the state Duma Sergey Naryshkin at a meeting with Deputy Chairman of the Left party in the Bundestag, Germany Wolfgang Gerke.

"Unfortunately, these relations remain hostage to domestic fall, but I wish to emphasize the futility of this path, linking the development of Russian-German relations, which are of independent value, with the crisis in Ukraine ", - Naryshkin said.

The speaker of the state Duma has made the initiative at the meeting to address the issues of migration fall in the European Union and the situation in the middle East.
