      Kanzler Angela Merkel and Prime Minister Putin joined televised interview held in St. Petersburg early morning today during the economic forum convention  discussed widerange issues that entailed Russia's significance to both Germany and the European Union countries as one of the major investment, business and economic partners, besides the Kanzler's emphasis on the demand for Russia to give back Germany's stolen, or lotted arts in painting and antique furnitures in the second World War during her visit to the Art Exhibition being held this week in St. Petersburg Russia. However, President Putin seemed to have hesitated for the required clear answer in regard to the return of Germany's stolen properties which may not be proven, or difficult to prove as Germany's properties, eventhough it has ever remained easy work for the art experts to distinquish between ancient art work and antique furnitures of various European countries.
