There is no such thing as a ‘good' terrorist, and we call on other nations not to show their political ambitions while fighting with terrorism, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said during a Paris conference on Iraq, reports GHN based on RT.
The participants have agreed to offer Iraq "appropriate military aid," according to the final conference statement.
Participants have agreed to offer Iraq "appropriate military aid," according to the final conference statement. It wasn't immediately clear what kind of military aid was meant.
The statement added that dealing with the IS is "a matter of urgency."
Around 30 countries took part in the event.
Lavrov has criticized the move not to invite Syria and Iran to the meeting.
"Syria and Iran are our natural allies in the fight against IS, and their participation in today's meeting could significantly enrich our work. Moral standards on which the anti-terrorism battle is based shouldn't become vague," he stated.
Lavrov also stated that the IS is evidently planning to "edge the whole region of the Middle East into the abyss of religious wars," enlisting their crimes.
He spoke out harshly against all the activities of IS which "threaten the future of Iraq," with "death and destruction" spilling into Syria as well.
