All we want is normal relations, a world order based on the principles of the indivisibility of security, so that every state is respected and there are no first and second, ”RIA Novosti quoted Antonov as saying at a memorial event - laying a wreath at the grave of the Ambassador of the Russian Empire to the USA Alexander Bodisko .
