Conflict hot spots And the most topical issues - Lavrov talked to the media. The traditional big press conference the head of Russian diplomacy was held in the new And unexpected to him status. Voiced the inevitable question: "do you Want to be a Minister?" The conference hall at the Ministry of foreign Affairs on Smolenskaya-Sennaya square in the early morning was Packed, not a single free chair. The perimeter fence is lined with cameras, all Waiting for Sergei Lavrov. He was late for an hour." Sorry, work schedule, " apologized the official representative of the foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova. Delay all reacted with understanding. The last few days the Minister's schedule And in truth was mad, That only added intrigue to his performance. Sergei Lavrov appeared before the press in his new capacity. On Tuesday, January 14, the entire Cabinet, after the speech of V. V. Putin to the Federal Assembly, resigned. Lavrov the news found on a business trip. He visited India, where for the first time participated in the Asian analogue of the Munich security conference forum Raisina Dialogue. Flew from Delhi to the rank of Minister, in Tashkent landed already acting. On questions of correspondents answered briefly: "I was asked to act - I do." "A slight misunderstanding, I hope you are Not offended, And Thank you for understanding," Lavrov welcomed the participants. And announced the 1st output of the past year: the world continues to " fever ". Destabilisateur the situation of the countries of the West want to destroy the international legal architecture And to replace it by some rules that are favorable only to them. Among such actions, for example, the scrapping of the Treaty on intermediate And shorter-range missiles, raising tension in the middle East. Scare the Russian Federation And the unilateral punishment, protectionism, trade wars. Lavrov emphasized attempts to thwart the project "Northern stream - 2" while the vision of the EU. in addition, the capital of the United States is clearly abusing the privilege of the country in which is located the headquarters of the United Nations, said Lavrov. Speech, Clearly, was the refusal to issue U.S. visas to representatives of Russia and Iran, which they were unable to get into the headquarters of the organization in new York. Russia has always pursued an "independent multi-vector course aimed at stabilization," the global crisis showed Lavrov. Other priorities include fighting crime And resolving the remaining issues in the Syrian Arab Republic. If diplomatic, political, humanitarian spheres, the progress, the economic recovery is lagging behind. The reason for that, in the opinion of the Russian capital, certain Western And middle Eastern partners, which are immobilized process And expose fresh rule: "Waiting for the start of the political process now says we must wait until It will bring results." Not a very effective approach, said Lavrov. in addition, existing but in need of confirmation of the information from the Kurdish-controlled "Syrian democratic forces" of prison for a bribe released ISIS terrorists* AND " Dzhebhat EN-Nusra." * It is also concerned by the Russian side. Among the positive outcomes 2019 - strengthening cooperation in Eurasia, the expansion of Russian-Chinese relations, as well as with India, ASEAN countries, Latin American countries. And the success of the first summit Russia - Africa in Sochi. Lavrov singled out And re-launch after a three year hiatus in the peace process in Ukraine. I hope That the work in the "channel format" will be promoted Not only on paper, as it did with Poroshenko, " - said Lavrov. Those wishing to ask questions was a lot. But again, because of the tight schedule, the word was given Not to all. On the contrary a chance to speak to foreign media. Italian correspondents cared in the 1st place, the situation in Libya, where renewed opposition of the rebel General Khalifa Haftorah And the head of the recognized government in Tripoli Faiza Saraga. On the question of the failures of previous Italian governments, which could provoke the Libyan crisis, Lavrov said That the main mistake was made Not in Rome: "the Decisive role played by colleagues from NATO, who in 2011 bombed Libya. This is called Not Italy. The leaders of the adventure Will Not be called, they all know." in the case of the Libyan resolution, According to Lavrov, far look Not worth it." We are trying to make their own contribution to these efforts, invited the commissioners of East And West [of Libya] in the capital of Russia, 7 hours, engaged in dialogue with the Haftarot And Sarraj, - He said.- There is a good balanced text, which was signed by Sarraj and the Haftarot has requested more time. The main thing - a truce concluded before observed, well, If it will survive." However, Not everything goes smoothly, there is still a lot of work, and Among them at the upcoming January 19 conference in Berlin." as long as they [the Haftarah And Sarraj] do Not even want in the same room to be, Not That talk. Will try ", - concluded Lavrov. at the same time from making any predictions, despite repeated pleas, He refrained. Lavrov recalled the words of Viktor Chernomyrdin: "it is very ungrateful thing to make forecasts. Most, If they concern the future ". English correspondent asked about the downed in Iran Ukrainian " Boeing ". First editor in chief of RT AND international news AGENCY "Russia today" Margarita Simonyan said That Iran has behaved " like a man ", admitting responsibility for the tragedy, showed a reporter for the newspaper The Independent. And reminded of another catastrophe - the collapse of the "Boeing" in the Donbass in 2014. "I do not Want to justify anyone, It is human error, the Iranians realized It was," came the answer. However, Lavrov added That the Americans have destroyed Soleimani " in violation of international law."" The Iranians said, warning everyone. But There is information That after the attack, the Iranians were expecting another attack on the United States, And in the air occurred six F-35 fighters in the airspace on the border of Iran. That must be checked, But the nervousness in such a situation is present, " He continued. As for the " peasant approach ", Lavrov reminded the International investigation team agitating the Russian Federation to admit the blame for the collapse of the "Boeing" did Not finish the trial." So the men are?" - He returned the question to the audience. Touched on relations with Tokyo. The Russian Federation is afraid of the us missile launchers placed on the Japanese Islands. In Tokyo say they need to deter North Korea, in the capital of Russia believe That Tokyo " has something against Russia."" But you have the Alliance with the United States, And the United States uses this Union for the sake of containing Russia, And Japan is part of this strategy. We want clarity And understanding of how our interaction in such conditions will develop, " explained the Japanese journalist Lavrov. Russia don't like And change the outcome of the Second world war, And the fact That in the European Union " thriving neo-Nazism ". Moscow is campaigning to take Into account the historical facts." the chief is preparing a detailed publication, based on new archival data. To the day of Christ, the egg was reported to be Poland wanted to look into the archives, And the Ministry of defence recently released archives about the liberation of Warsaw ", - said Lavrov. Just summing up took about half an hour. However, before leaving, Maria Zakharova promised the audience That all will be able to take a selfie with the Bay And its chart Is Not affected.
