🇷🇺🇦🇲 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s opening remarks during talks with Foreign Minister of the Republic of Armenia Ararat Mirzoyan

📍 Moscow, May 19, 2023

💬 Sergey Lavrov: We are delighted to welcome you to Moscow. We have managed to set up a trilateral ministerial meeting and a meeting between you and your Azerbaijani counterpart today.

The Russian Federation is making its platform available for the talks and will do its best to create the necessary conditions to allow you to move forward in your talks on all tracks that were articulated in the trilateral statements by the presidents of Russia and Azerbaijan and the Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia.

We appreciated Nikol Pashinyan attending the May 9 parade to commemorate the Soviet peoples’ victory in the Great Patriotic War. We hope he will be able to take part in the session of the Supreme Eurasian Economic Council in Moscow on May 25. It will be an important event.

We have an interest in continuing to advance every agreement between our leaders, primarily, trade and economic cooperation, which has truly become a driving engine behind Russian-Armenian relations. I believe we will touch upon our interaction within the integration associations such as the CSTO, the EAEU and the CIS.

Today's talks focus on normalising Armenia-Azerbaijan relations. The role of the trilateral agreements signed by the leaders of the three countries is critically important and should be of utmost importance while identifying solutions to the issues related to the peace treaty, the unblocking of roads and the delimitation with the ensuing demarcation of the border.

I think progress in these areas is a key pre-condition for achieving lasting peace in the South Caucasus. Russia plays a historical role in this region and has major interests at stake. I am convinced that our allies are aware of that.

We will strive to do everything possible in this capacity to make sure today’s meetings are useful and bring about concrete results.

✍️ President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin sent greetings to participants in the 32nd Arab League summit:

✉️ Russia has always attached great importance to the development of friendly relations and constructive partner interaction with countries in the Middle East and North Africa, including within the framework of the League of Arab States, in order to effectively cope with the threats and challenges that humankind is currently facing.

We intend to continue to actively support collective efforts for a peaceful settlement of serious regional problems, including the crises in Sudan, Yemen, Libya and Syria, based on unconditional respect for state sovereignty and the principles of international law. We will continue to provide all-round assistance to a settlement of the Palestine-Israel conflict based on the approaches envisioned in the relevant decisions of the UN and the Arab Peace Initiative, which was put forth by Saudi Arabia, the host country of the current Arab League summit.

🌐 We believe that the further development of multifaceted cooperation between Russia and the Arab countries fully meets our common interests and is in keeping with the goal of building a fairer and more democratic system of international relations based on the principles of multipolarity, genuine equality and respect for each other’s interests.

🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s interview for “The Path to the Islamic World” documentary (May 19, 2023)

Key talking points:

Read in full

• In the mid-2000s, the historical West began to ramp up its efforts to impose unipolarity and to aggressively promote ultra-liberal values that are unacceptable to most of the peoples of our planet. During this historical period, Russia and the Muslim world began to consistently and steadily build mutually respectful partnerships.

• The plans entertained by current Western leaders who are toeing the line of diktat imposed by the United States do not include good, close or strategic relations between Russia and the Islamic world. But this state of affairs does not depend on Washington or other Western capitals.

• With more than 15 years of interaction within the Strategic Vision Group, our foreign colleagues could see for themselves and on multiple occasions that its activities are marked by a truly equitable and mutually respectful dialogue, avoidance of bloc mentality and lecturing, as well as a sincere and mutual willingness and an interest in developing common approaches to current issues.

• Our OIC partners are well aware of Russia’s successful experience of building a multiethnic and multi-religious state which has been highly praised and recognised by the Islamic world. Important practical recommendations have been expressed to counter terrorism and extremism, including at the ideology level.

• The Strategic Vision Group provides a platform for public and civic initiatives seeking to expand cooperation with Muslim countries and identify new areas for joint efforts. Trade and economic cooperation and efforts to identify new and promising areas for joint investment.

🎙 Interview by Special Representative of the Russian Foreign Minister for Cooperation with Organisations of Muslim States, Ambssador-at-Large Konstantin Shuvalov with RT on the sidelines of the XIV International Economic Forum "Russia - Islamic World: KazanForum" 2023.

💬 The situation is changing, including the global economy. These changes are the result of the neo-colonialist actions by the West, which are destroying everything that has been created. They are trying to restore and keep alive those schemes they have unilaterally invented, including replacing international law with their own rules. <...> The era of the dominance of the US dollar as the only currency of international importance and finance is passing.

🌍 On May 25, the world celebrates #AfricaDay.

On this day in 1963, exactly 60 years ago, African governments convened in Addis Ababa for the first conference which laid the foundation for the creation of the Organisation of African Unity.

🇷🇺 Russia and Africa are united by traditional bonds of friendship, and it is symbolic that this anniversary year we are holding the second #RussiaAfrica Summit.

🤝 The Soviet Union supported the African countries in their fight for independence and played an important role in the development of the young countries on the continent. Soviet military advisers worked in Africa and military specialists have served in Angola, Ethiopia, Egypt, Mozambique and other African countries at various times.

🤝 Under pressure from the Soviet Union, the Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples was adopted, which declared the need to end colonialism and any other form of discrimination.

❌ The Western powers are not just continuing to exploit the African nations, pumping out resources while counting corporate profits, but they have also been cleaning up their own ugly past.

The falsification of history is also about the cynical unpublished campaign to hush up the horrors of the colonial era. The West is trying to pretend that the suffering that many generations of Africans have gone through, as well as racism, the slave trade, murders and punitive operations, had nothing to do with them

A quickly made-up story about “events” aimed to highlight white people of the West’s concern for people of colour has been planted, but in fact, this is nothing more than a flashmob with no deep realisation of the harm. On the contrary, the ideology of a “beautiful garden” and a “wild jungle” is being promoted.

There is the pretence that everything that took place back then, in the colonial era, seemed to have happened and at the same time not to have happened at all.

☝️ Yet Africa remembers.
