Surprise.

quote:
The Russian President, Vladimir Putin, has denied planning to change the constitution to stay in office for a third term.

Speaking to journalists in Moscow, he said Russia needed stability, and the best way to ensure that was by leaving the constitution unchanged.

Mr Putin has repeatedly said he will step down at the next presidential elections in 2008.
