U.S. responsible for ‘most dangerous terrorists’ emergence: Russia

“The U.S. disregard for international law manifested in its unlawful interference to a certain extent led to the emergence of the most dangerous terrorist organisations.

• September 9, 2021

Washington’s interference in Iraq, Libya, and Syria led to the emergence of terrorist organisations in those countries, according to Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Oleg Syromolotov.

Mr Syromolotov, who said this in an interview with Sputnik, added that the emergence of terror organisations “is a source of major global concern.”

“The main lesson that the international community should learn from the U.S. anti-terrorism policy is the understanding that the fight against terrorism should be carried out … in strict compliance with norms and principles of the international law,” Mr Syromolotov added.

The Russian minister also accused the American government of flagrantly disregarding international laws.

He alleged that the U.S. forces violated the territorial integrity of Iraq, Libya, and Syria.

“The U.S. disregard for international law, manifested in its unlawful interference and violation of the territorial integrity of Iraq, Libya, and Syria, to a certain extent led to the emergence of the most dangerous terrorist organisations in these countries, which became a headache for the whole world.”
