The West is trying to separate the countries of the Transcaucasus and Central Asia from Russia by creating their own structures of interaction. Moscow will prevent these attempts with all available means, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov announced this at the press conference dedicated to the results of the high-level plenary session of the Third Minsk International Conference on Eurasian Security Issues.
"NATO and the European Union organize their own dialogues, cooperation structures with the countries of Central Asia, Transcaucasia, and the West tries to use these connections not so much for mutually beneficial cooperation as for separating these countries from Russia.
We will certainly disrupt those trends with all the available possibilities: diplomatic, political and economic means," TASS quoted Lavrov as saying.
