ArmInfo.Russia plays in the international arena exactly the role that it can play and does not pursue any ratings. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated this on Friday at the Novoe Znanie marathon.

As Lavrov stressed, similar scenarios could happen with Syria, but Russia prevented them and eradicated the main nest of terrorism.
"We are not chasing any ratings, but objective observers, probably, themselves should keep an eye on who achieves what results. When they say:" Here are Americans with noble thoughts, they always do everything, " "I would like you to bring an example, when any internationalinitiative with the use of not only the authority, but also the US armed force led to an improvement in the situation. So I listed examples where they interfered, you can find other examples, "- said the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry, reports TASS.
"Russia plays exactly the role that it can play, and it is not doing it unsuccessfully," Lavrov stressed.
According to the minister, Russia has also done "very well> work in the Transcaucasus within the framework of the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. "Now we are helping to normalize Azerbaijani-Armenian relations, in general, the situation in Transcaucasia, where an opportunity has opened up, including through our mediation, to unblock all economic and transport communications that have remained closed since the early 90s due to the Karabakh conflict," concluded the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation.
