Russian President Vladimir Putin has spoken against double standards in the definition of terrorism. \"We believe that there should be not only the same definition of terrorism for everybody but we should also mean the same things when we talk about it,\" Putin said at a press conference in Astana in reply to a question from Interfax on Thursday. \"Bin Laden has twice offered a truce to Europe in exchange for withdrawal of troops from Iraq, but nobody has entered into negotiations with him, because the methods and means he chooses make it impossible to maintain dialogue with him,\" he said.
