Lavrov: Russia Demands Turkey Withdraw Troops From Iraq
MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Russia will be consistently opposing any attempts to alter the outcome of the World War II, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Tuesday.

"Russia will be consistently opposing the attempts of those, who seek to revise the outcome of the World War II and to distort history. The results of those tragic years demonstrate the inevitability of collective diplomatic work to look for optimal answers to many challenges and threats," Lavrov's greeting note to the participants of international conference "70 years of the Nuremberg trials and the lessons of history" reads.

The foreign minister added in the message that the recognition of the full outcome of the victory, enshrined in the UN Charter and other multilateral documents, is an imperative for all states without exception.

"Unfortunately, the vaccination against the virus of post-Nazi regime, made at the Nuremberg trial, gradually begins to decrease, the propaganda of Nazi ideas and values is being openly carried out, the cynical attempts to equate the victims and executioners are being taken," the note says.

The Nuremberg trials were a number of military tribunals conducted by the Allied forces after the World War II in Nuremberg, Germany. The trials were significant for the prosecution of prominent leaders of Nazi Germany.
