MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Countries where the Islamic State extremist group is currently active saw no terrorism before "unacceptable" outside interference, Russian President Vladimir Putin said Tuesday.

“We know what is happening in the Middle East, North Africa, we know the problems associated with a terrorist organization that has arrogated to itself the right to call itself Islamic State," Putin said at a BRICS meeting.

"But in the countries where it is blossoming today there was no terrorism before absolutely unacceptable outside interference had occurred, especially without UN Security Council sanctions," Putin stressed.

The Russian president added that it is necessary to correct "all that has happened over the previous years on the international arena."

The group is countered on the ground by Iraqi and Syrian forces, while a US-led coalition of more than 60 countries is conducting airstrikes on ISIL positions.

The group is known for its brutality and numerous human rights violations.
