Emomali Rahmon, the Tajik ruler since 1994, appeared to scold Putin at a meeting at the Commonwealth of Independent States summit.

We are a small nation, but we have history, culture, and we love it. According to Mail Online, the man said that.

"We don't need anything, just to be respected," he stated.

He said, "Why do we have to beg Russia to attend a forum in a poor country?"

We are not being treated as strategic partners. The Mail reports that Rahmon said that they want to be respected.
