Speaking to reporters just after his address, Lavrov was asked about the situation of visas for Russian diplomats. He said, “I have commented that to the media and talked about that with Mike Pompeo yesterday and today. I would like to say once again that I have no doubt that neither he nor President Trump knew about that, and they did not give the order not to give the visa. And my colleague confirmed it to me.”
To a question on the phone call between the presidents of the U.S. and Ukraine, he said, “I would like to say that there is a diplomatic routine idea that bringing all of the issues to the public, being so vociferous saying that this or other administration, if they don’t show a certain memo to some partners, then this administration will be brought to its knees. What kind of democracy is that?”
Responding on the situation in Syria, Lavrov said, “I think we are trying to get to a better understanding of how to help Syrians to agree about their motherland so that all external players with no exclusion will respect the territorial integrity of the Syrian Arab Republic.”
The Foreign Minister was at the United Nations for its annual high-level week.
