Gorbachev Says No Right to Interfere in East Europe
During a three day state visit to Finland President Gorbachev said the Soviet Union has no moral or political right to interfere in East European affairs and praised Finland as a model of stability. His spokesman joked that Moscow had adopted the Sinatra doctrine with Hungary and Poland pursuing their own paths. Gorbachev urged letting upheavals run their course while meeting with Mauno Koivisto and Finnish business leaders to discuss capitalist ideas for the Soviet economy. He noted Finland’s neutrality and recalled historical ties as he toured Helsinki.
