that was far from the only subject that lavrov touched upon during the press or. at the event for us and joins us live with the details now bring us the highlights. jack one hello there well 1st of all i can tell you that the things that you were just talking about attempts to rewrite history and also something that is being called in this country like one of our correspondents said attempts to blur the lines between nazi germany and the soviet union that was brought up quite a few times during this press conference and even led told point when. asked the question well i guess it was something that was just up in the air there was no answer to what how come there are elements. in the european union how come they appeared this is what we heard from the russian foreign minister and clearly by saying these words he does send a message to euro europe and doesn't point out how much the government in russia is disappointed with these kind of an attempt to interpret history in that way so apart from that i mean obviously there were loads of issues touched upon but i can

time after time at this press event the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov it seems had nor their choice but to keep talking about washington's behavior in terms of how it deals with other countries according to the tactic of constantly building up pressure while at the same time turning a blind eye on the international law it's not only that it hasn't changed in the previous year but actually expand it take for example the russia japan relations moscow believes that they have fallen victim to washington's alliance with tokyo which according to circle of rob is being used by the americans to continue convincing the rest of the world that russia is an enemy and a threat you can get that you put in is hosting us anti missile defense systems and our japanese colleagues have been telling us all along it's meant as defense against the korean threats and that's only the japanese military will have control over it but it's the very same u.s. launches that have been tested by the u.s. not only for launching anti missile defensive but also offensive missiles and have a look at the u.s. mil

today by russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov. if you put in the terms to me and lie about our country both was regard to reasons and outcomes of the 2nd world war and attempts to now use these lies to undermine russia's position in the international arena a bound to continue we know for a fact that our polish colleagues are trying to get western countries attending the commemoration ceremony in jerusalem to poland's viewpoint on world war 2 you know it's simply beyond the pale especially given the tragic context of the event when articles from geneva trinket was on that press conference for lover of made those remarks let's cross live to him now. seems like russia's foreign minister then was was putting the focus on the lessons of history. while indeed. neal hi the world will be celebrating the 75th anniversary of the defeat over nazi germany this year and this is a really big deal for this country which lost millions and millions of lives in this war so several times the russian top diplomat called out some countries baltic stat

his heart was in the right place and i think mr lavrov will say that quite clearly they had a very good relationship and they understood at the end of the day the special envoy whether it's the mr or or anybody else working on other issues. has to operate within the parameters set by the security council and its men and particular the 5 permanent members you cannot effectively discharge your mandate if you are unable to balance things between the 5 permanent members at least if not security council so i think personalizing it is a bit too much i think if you as minister lavrov directly you will have a lot of praise haswell i mean on a personal level just a lot of people but i think you also ignore as if he is right to create criticize them when they're professional or whatever i mean i was in many meetings i mean probably all the meetings de mistura had with minister lavrov. i think they were always very frank and friendly you don't have to agree with everything. but most meetings between de mistura and various secretaries of state again frank and friendly don't necessarily agree on eve

i had with minister lavrov. i think they were always very frank and friendly you don't have to agree with everything. but most meetings between de mistura various secretaries of state again frank and friendly don't necessarily agree on everything. but i think he handled himself admirably given the context in which you operate and which was not very nice now let me also give you an ability to criticize russia for a change because i heard you say once that russia has a somewhat similar advantage with the united nations and has been trying to cultivate its capacity of talking or it was being able to talk with all the players at least in the middle east do you think russia has used these capacities to the best of its ability well i mean let me put it this way russia is certainly not the only player in the middle east where others. whatever russia tries to do is. subject to the actions of others now if you look at the various conflicts in the middle east i think russia has been a criticism from from all the parties.

and politicization of history was also touched upon on friday by russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov. but with q. pulling the terms to me and lie about our country both with regard to reasons and outcomes of the 2nd world war and attempts to now use these lies to undermine russia's position in the international arena abound to continue we know for a fact that our polish colleagues are trying to get western countries attending the commemoration ceremony in jerusalem to poland's viewpoint on world war 2 you know it's simply beyond the pale especially given the tragic context of the event. well arty's ilya patrik i was at that press conference for us well after i've made his remarks. time after time at this press event the russian foreign minister. it seems had nor their choice but to keep talking about washington's behavior in terms of how it deals with other countries according to the tactic of constantly building up pressure while at the same time turning a blind eye on the international law it's not only that it hasn't changed in the previous year but actually expand it take for exa
