Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Monday that the West is pushing the Middle East region to the brink of a “big war”, leading to an increase in terrorism and refugees.
“Now we see how the Anglo-Saxons are literally pushing the Middle East to the brink of a big war,” Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said at a panel discussion during the Russian International Exhibition and Forum in Moscow.
Lavrov said that this approach used by the West is fully manifested in Ukraine, Iraq, Libya, and Syria.
“Other results of such a policy are a surge of terrorism and extremism, broken human destinies, destroyed families, millions of refugees,” added Lavrov.
Lavrov said that the West is used to solving its own problems at the expense of others, exploiting other people’s resources.
Russia’s foreign minister claimed that NATO is a relic of the past, adding that the alliance is spreading its tentacles around the world, which may lead it to ”overstrain” itself.
“You cannot so brazenly and persistently impose your hegemony on everyone, times are not the same,” Lavrov concluded, Klix.ba reports.
