MOSCOW (Sputnik) – The official added that the present situations in the Middle East and Northern Africa illustrate the destructive effect of the foreign countries’ unreasonable interference in a sovereign state’s affairs.
"The explosive region with its complicated internal problems was made an object of internal political struggle. And the protracted existence of the Islamic State [Daesh] terrorist quasi-state emerged as a result of our western partners’ and regional allies’ negligence in the choice of the means to pursue their goals," Naryshkin said.
A number of Middle East and African countries have experienced civil unrest in the recent years, which, in some of them led to terrorist organizations gaining foothold, as it happened with Daesh, banned in Russia and many other countries, capturing wide swaths of territory in Iraq, Syria and Libya.
