MOSCOW, April 20. /TASS/. Those who are sowing chaos in the Middle East are obviously seeking to split the Islamic world, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said at a session of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO).
He also said that the Nazi ideology and practices are being revived in Germany and other countries that joined "Hitler’s hordes."
TASS has summed up the top diplomat’s key statements.
Chances for establishing a Palestinian state are becoming increasingly scarce: "If you look at the geographical map, chances for creating a Palestinian state are vanishing, while Israel is making official statements that there will never be such a state, only the State of Israel, with expanded borders."
The Gulf crisis will impact the CSTO region as well: "The crisis in the Gulf was triggered by the United States and Israel’s unprovoked aggression against Iran, the concurrently unfolding war in Lebanon, the expanding hostilities against Syria in a bid to try to split this state again, and, naturally, the utter stagnation aggravating the tragedy of the Palestinian people both in Gaza and the West Bank <…> This cannot but affect our region."
