In a statement during a trip to Australia, Gorbachev said that if powerful states "see military power as a viable means of resolving  disputes, then we should not be surprised if other states also consider it a legitimate course."

Gorbachev, credited for his role in ending the Cold War, won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1990.
