The Minister of foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Sergey Lavrov on June 29 gave an interview to the British TV channel «Channel 4«. He commented on the situation with the «Russian case», the relationship between the US and Russia, and expressed the opinion that now is in the process of establishing a post-Western world order. During the interview, the politician said: the us authorities are responsible for the appearance on the world stage for terrorist groups Islamic state and al-Qaeda.
According to Lavrov, it is worth to note the fact that the Western world has passed. In recent years, new centers of political and economic power. Among them he listed China, India and Brazil. The Russian Federation official attributed to «independent players». The Minister says that his country is not trying to undermine an international agreement, but will resist any pressure from other global players.
Separately, Lavrov walked on US foreign policy. According to him, when the Americans began to provide «financial and other support to the Mujahideen» who fought with the Soviet troops, provoked the emergence of al-Qaeda. The politician argues that the United States are unable to cope with the situation inside Afghanistan, where their support will allow future terrorists to get stronger.
«That is what got al-Qaeda, and the United States has completely lost control over the monster they have created,» — said Sergey Lavrov.
A similar parallel is the Minister held with American actions in Iraq. He is convinced that military intervention in this country was absolutely illegal, and the emergence of the Islamic state is a direct consequence of this operation. Lavrov believes that all activities of the United States in the middle East plays into the hands of terrorists.
«Later began the military adventure in Iraq, gamble is illegal, what today know absolutely everything — even Tony Blair admitted that the operation was a mistake. However, essentially it does not change: the same al Qaeda that resulted from the activities of the United States in Afghanistan, ISIS was a result of the invasion of Iraq» — said the politician.
The Russian foreign Minister also referred to the sanctions, which, according to him, allow Russia to develop its own capacity in key areas of the economy and national security. At the same time, Sergey Lavrov said his country «has nothing against the sanctions lifted«.
At the end of the interview the Minister answered questions about the «Russian case«. In his opinion, this situation fuels the Democratic party for their own purposes. In addition, an investigation of alleged evidence of «a deep inner problem,» which appeared due to the fact that the loser can’t admit defeat in the presidential elections of 2016.
