The Russian Foreign Minister added that Moscow, Tehran and Ankara are making efforts to defeat terrorists and to preserve the territorial integrity of the country

Moscow, Tehran and Ankara have a full understanding in the fight against terrorism and the preservation of the territorial sovereignty of Syria. This was stated on Friday by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, speaking in the Federation Council within the “government hour”.

“As the president has repeatedly said (Russia Vladimir Putin), we do not have 100% coincidence of goals and interests, but from the diversity of the approaches of each country to this or that aspect of the situation in Syria, we unequivocally rely on absolute solidarity (in question) on the need to defeat terrorism and to preserve territorial integrity in Syria, to ensure the harmony of all its ethnoconfessional groups, “Lavrov said.
The Foreign Minister pointed out that in the Russia-Iran-Turkey format, it successfully manages to realize the opportunities facing each of the three countries. “This commonality of interests, it provides consistent, efficient work within the Astana format,” he added.

Lavrov did not draw any conclusions, “as far as it is necessary and expedient to form something constant, structured, bureaucratized from the” troika “, with the secretariat, the apparatus.” “Probably everything has its time,” he said, “but in general, today’s problems in the world are such that they require not frozen bureaucratic formations, but flexible coalitions that can respond to the challenges of our time efficiently and effectively.”

He expressed confidence that the remaining scattered groups of the terrorist organization “Islamic State” (IG, banned in the Russian Federation) in Syria will be killed. “There were, of course, small groups left behind, they will be finished, there are no doubts,” the minister said.

The minister added that the US refused to attack the terrorists who fled Syria to Iraq on the pretext that they were prisoners of war. Lavrov said that Russia considers the US position dangerous, that some terrorists can be re-educated, and will counteract this.

“There was an episode when the Igilov fighters (IG fighters) fled from Syria to Iraq, where there are no authorities for our Aerospace forces, and the Americans have,” the minister recalled. “Then we gave them information and said that we should liquidate this group However, the Americans said that they would not do this, since they are already prisoners of war with the status, which is protected by the Geneva Conventions. ”

As Lavrov noted, introducing the term “violent extremism”, Washington is trying to take some terrorists in a separate category, so that “in the future or even now it was possible, by playing terms, to somebody to be classified as terrorist, as to be destroyed, and somebody to be translated in the category of violent extremists, with whom, they say, one can still conduct educational work. ” “This is a dangerous tendency, we categorically oppose it,” the Russian Foreign Minister stressed. “Our approach is known, and it can not be changed.”
