MOSCOW DISMISSES RUMOURS OF IMPENDING BACK SURGERY FOR PUTIN
The Kremlin has dismissed talk that Russian President Vladimir Putin is suffering from a serious back problem - which has prompted him to postpone foreign visits and may require surgery.
Putin, who began a six-year presidential term in May and turned 60 on October 7, was seen limping at an Asia-Pacific summit at Vladivostok in early September.
Despite officials denying the report, media have cited sources confriming he's suffering with back troubles that will require surgery in future, claiming the Russian leader's schedule is being cleared for early November.
Putin did not travel to Pakistan for a planned four-nation summit on Afghanistan earlier this month, and did not make an expected trip to Turkey.
