28 February 2020


Russia opposes compromises with terrorists in the Middle East, including in Syria and Libya, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said  today during talks with Luxembourg's Foreign and European Affairs Minister Jean Asselborn.


"We have other issues on the agenda with Luxembourg related to world politics, including the situation in the Middle East and North Africa: Syria and Libya. In both cases, as in any regional conflict, Russia stands for establishing an inclusive dialogue between all political forces of the country, and for respecting the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the respective states by all external players. And, of course, we confirm that there should be no compromises with the terrorists who raised their heads after the so - called Arab spring in 2011", he said, in particular.
