Speaking at the International Conference on Eurasian Security in Minsk, he said: “Despite promises to Soviet leaders that the alliance would not move an inch to the east, NATO’s expansion has not stopped for a moment. Moreover, this ongoing expansion is in flagrant disregard of commitments at the highest levels within the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe that stipulate that it will not strengthen its own security at the expense of others or seek regional or global domination.”
As Foreign Minister Lavrov emphasized, Russia believes that the overwhelming majority of NATO and EU countries refuse to recognize the reality that Western domination has ended and a new historical era has begun, TASS reported.
“This shows the fundamental difference between us and Russia, our CIS partners, China, India, Iran, North Korea and other Eurasian countries. We are countries that are convinced that the key to the stability and prosperity of our continent lies in strict respect for the principles of sovereign equality and the indivisibility of security for all peoples, not just a select few who prioritize law and morality. International arms control agreements are to blame, not Russia or our allies.” In recent years, it has been systematically compromised and ultimately abandoned,” Lavrov concluded.
