(MENAFN- AzerNews) The Western countries have been exerting efforts for
humanitarian and military penetration into the Central Asian
region, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said in a speech at
the Russian-Tajik Slavonic University on Tuesday, Azernews reports,
citing TASS.
"Today, we are witnesses to systematic efforts by the West to
assertively penetrate in various ways, including humanitarian and
military ones, into Central Asia," Lavrov said.
He urged the Central Asian partners to take a critical view of
"the schemes of cooperation imposed by the West both in the
military field and in law enforcement training programs."
He also pointed out that the development assistance programs
promoted by Western geopolitical engineers were in fact
"instruments of control and of reformatting the political and
economic landscape" of the Central Asian region to suit their
standards.
"In part this concerns such a key
area as water resources management, which we discussed earlier
today," he added. Earlier on Tuesday, Lavrov
held talks with his Tajikistani counterpart Sirojiddin Muhriddin
and was received by President Emomali Rahmon.
