President of Tajikistan Lectures Russian President Putin And Tells Him 'We Want To Be Respected'

 

Daily Mail: Now Putin has to listen to lectures from the President of TAJIKISTAN: Central Asian Republic boss berates Russian leader and tells him: 'We want to be respected' 

* Putin receives emotional dressing down from the President of Tajikistan 

* Just the latest humiliation he has had to endure at hands of his Asian 'friends'
