"NATO plans to interfered in the creation of the Eurasian security structure", said the Foreign Minister of the Russian Federation Sergey Lavrov after a meeting of the Council of Foreign Ministers of the CSTO (Collective Security Treaty Organization), reports TASS, quoted by Focus.
"NATO will do everything possible to prevent such fair processes (the formation of a security architecture in Eurasia), but this is absolutely no alternative," Lavrov commented.
Lavrov added that the CSTO "agrees with the need to form a security architecture in Eurasia".
"The threats that appear to Eurasian security come from different directions, but in the overwhelming majority of cases the source of these threats is NATO's aggressive line," the head of Russian diplomacy noted.
He has indicated that the North Atlantic Alliance seeks to "privatize and subjugate all matters related to ensuring stability in our vast space".
Last week, Russian President Vladimir Putin, speaking at a meeting with the leadership of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said that "the time has come to discuss collective security guarantees in Eurasia". It is also necessary to "limit the presence of extra-regional military forces there".
"Russia is interested in the dialogue on creating an indivisible security system being seriously developed at the UN,'' Putin commented at the time.
