The US actions in the Middle East were compared to the behavior of an elephant in a china shop. This was stated by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov at a press conference following talks with Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal Bin Farhan Al Saud.

In the opinion of Lavrov, the actions of the United States and it’s allies in the Middle East lead to serious consequences for the countries of the region.

As an example of such changes, Lavrov mentioned Iraq and Libya. He also recalled the attempts to destroy the Syrian Arab Republic. The Minister stressed, that interference in the internal affairs of sovereign states is unacceptable, as well as the imposition of ideological schemes on them.
