Russia's Foreign Minister Lavrov:

Serbia is basically being forced to impose sanctions against Russia in exchange for prospects of eurointegration.

Russia's Foreign Minister Lavrov:

Europe is doing everything it can to thwart peace talks in which the Trump administration is interested in.

Russia's Foreign Minister Lavrov:

The objectives of our "special military operation" will be achieved and threats to our security will be eliminated.

Peace will reign again. This will happen despite anything that might happen.

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan on Israel:

The oppression and massacres carried out by Israel are no longer going without consequences to the same extent, as a result of the diplomatic efforts that have been made. In other words, Israel now has to pay very heavy costs for every action it takes.

This isolation, including facing legal consequences through institutions such as the International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court, means it is encountering situations it has never been accustomed to or faced before.

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan: (Secretariat for Mecca Alliance)

Our Pakistani brothers put forward a candidate. Most likely, this Secretary General candidate will be appointed by the member countries, by us.

I believe that following the Secretary-General taking office, the work on making appointments to the other positions will be brought to completion.

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan on Saudi Arabia:

The attacks from both the south by the Houthis and from the north — we made general political assessments regarding what these situations are about.

Yesterday, as you know, in Riyadh, there was a military technical assessment and meeting that our Chief of Staff also attended. I spoke with him today as well.

Our work related to military tactical matters continues well. We are pleased with the current work on this matter.

God willing, we will continue our efforts to provide a more peaceful environment, free of further conflict.

Iran's Assembly of Experts member reveals Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei was pulled from rubble after hospital bombing.

Ayatollah Mohsen Heydari said Khamenei was wounded in the attack, and after it became known he was hospitalized, three Tehran hospitals were struck.

He was in the third hospital and was extracted from under the debris.

Zelensky:

Obviously, the Russians are not preparing to stop the war. At least not now. Putin constantly finds some kind of excuse not to meet, not to hold a trilateral format, not to talk, and not to end or stop these killings.

Russia needs to develop a desire to spend money not on death, but on something else — to develop a desire there to end this war.

In the coming days and in October, there will be a lot of diplomatic activity aimed at changing the situation. But in addition to this, the Lindsey Graham law and other mechanisms of pressure — all of this needs to be put into action even more.

Iceland's Foreign Minister Katrín Gunnarsdóttir on Netanyahu:

We have heard the words "moral cowards" from this podium. To me, moral cowards are those who refuse to sit down and negotiate just and lasting peace.

Those leaders who deny access to humanitarian aid for people in desperate need.

And moral cowards are those leaders of the world who repeatedly go against and disrespect international law.

We must not allow the horrors in Ukraine and the Middle East to make other crises invisible.

India's Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar:

We strongly believe that a durable and lasting peace requires a two-state solution.

Saudi Arabia's Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud:

We stress the need to ensure that the entire region is free of weapons of mass destruction and that peaceful nuclear programs are subject to international oversight, verification and safeguards.

As such, we would enhance confidence and safeguard regional and international security.

Iceland's Foreign Minister Katrín Gunnarsdóttir:

The suffering of Palestinian civilians cannot become a background noise. Children are still being killed. Families are still losing their homes and parents are still trying to keep their children alive again and again.

We cannot accept Gaza being repeatedly destroyed and rebuilt while the underlying cause remains unresolved.

And in the West Bank, illegal settlement activity continues to expand. Palestinian civilians face settler violence too often enabled by impunity, inflammatory rhetoric and permissive policies.

Our objective remains clear: a viable Palestinian state alongside Israel with both peoples able to live in security, dignity and peace.

Saudi Arabia's Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud:

The Kingdom rejects all attempts at displacement or changing the reality of the Palestinian land, and stresses that a just and lasting peace cannot be achieved except through implementing the two-state solution and establishing an independent Palestinian state on the 1967 borders and East Jerusalem as its capital.

Russia's Foreign Minister Lavrov:

Our Turkish friends know perfectly well that the S-400 systems were supplied under a contract that provides full respect for the end-user certificate.

They know perfectly well that if they ever want to move these systems somewhere outside their borders, they cannot do so without our official consent.

There has been no such request to us.

Russia's Foreign Minister Lavrov on Germany:

Chancellor Merz says — and this was no slip, he repeated it several times — 'Our goal is to make Germany once again the main military force in Europe.'

Does he understand the meaning of the word 'again' in that sentence?

Russia's Foreign Minister Lavrov on Germany:

Germany strives to become a Security Council member — persistently, I'd even say obsessively.

Its chances are zero.

Russia's Foreign Minister Lavrov on Türkiye's S-400s and possible third-party transfers:

There are a huge number of cases when Europeans around the world go around and purchase weapons from countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America, in the Arab world, weapons that are guaranteed not to go anywhere else, but they still transfer all of this to Ukraine.

We will be ready to transfer S-400s to such a country when there is a request that guarantees that such violations will not be allowed.

Russia's Foreign Minister Lavrov on SDF:

Every time Americans stopped supporting them, the Syrian Democratic Forces immediately turned to us:

'Help us.'

We started helping. Then the Americans returned, and they lost interest in us.

Damascus is not like the Ukrainian regime, which genuinely pursues its nationalist, Nazi views.

They didn't ban the Kurdish language.

Russia's Foreign Minister Lavrov:

We have no intention of fighting Europe — this is nonsense and absurd.

It is Europe that is preparing for war with us. Every day they confirm that, by 2030 at the latest, we Europeans must be ready for war.

This, you know, could become a self-fulfilling prophecy, because they are now investing huge amounts of money in weapons production.

Putin said: if they attack us, we won't hold back. And he added — it will be a completely different war, and it will be short.

Russia's Foreign Minister Lavrov:

No new developments emerged from the meeting with German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul.
