Warsaw Forum on Middle East aims to Create Dividing Lines: Zakharova

MOSCOW- The results of a Middle East conference in Warsaw demonstrate the US policy towards creating new dividing lines in the region, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said in a commentary on Monday.

“We have to state with regret that the conference in Warsaw came as a new demonstration of the US administration’s policy towards creating new dividing lines in the Middle East, which is already oversaturated with conflicts and contradictions,” the diplomat said, according to Itar Tass.

 “However, this is the signature style of Washington that has been staking since long on imposing unilateral recipes, like the notorious ‘deal of the century’ [on the Palestinian-Israeli settlement],” the diplomat went on to say. She also mentioned “the practice of building coalitions based on common interests – like, for example, the designed ‘Middle East NATO’ on the anti-Iranian basis”.

“All this leads away from the goal of achieving long-term stabilization in the region, complicates prospects for the settlement of the conflict situations existing there,” Zakharova stressed.
