Russia is ready to assist crisis regulation around Qatar

Russia is ready to assist regulation of crisis around Qatar if the intermediaries say this aid is needed, said Sergey Lavrov, Foreign Minister of Russia in the interview to the Kurdish TV channel Rudaw.

 

"We want that problem to be solved on the basis of common good and the fact that solving it would be in the interest of all involved in the process. We support the efforts of the Emir of Kuwait. If within that effort or in any way Russia can offer something good we are ready to do so," he said.

 

In his words, Russia is in touch with all the parties of the conflict and sees the efforts taken by other states to settle the situation in the district of Persian Gulf.

"We see that other countries too have efforts to solve this crisis. Rex Tillerson was in the region and he held a number of important meetings and I understand that France and the United Kingdom have also expressed readiness to help. We will help with anything that would prevent the situation from getting worse so that that important region of the world does not go towards a long-term turmoil," he said.
