What is the UN General Assembly and why is it needed? Anniversary, seventieth Composition and functions of the General Committee of the General Assembly.

UN, September 15. The 70th session of the General Assembly (GA) began at the UN headquarters world organization.

Its first meeting was opened by its chairman, former Danish Foreign Minister Mogens Lykketoft.

“I declare the 70th session of the General Assembly open,” he said, banging the gavel.

After this, the GA Chairman invited delegates from the 193 member countries of the General Assembly to spend a minute of “silence, prayer and reflection.”

During the first plenary session, which lasted less than an hour, a number of procedural decisions were adopted, including those concerning the composition and organization of work of the GA committees. In addition, a warning was issued to member countries with arrears in contributions to the UN budget - serious delays in payment could lead to a temporary loss of voting rights.

Historical session of the General Assembly

In his opening speech, Mogens Lykketoft expressed hope that the anniversary session of the General Assembly “will be truly historic.” He recalled that in less than 10 days a summit will be held at the UN headquarters, during which the agenda in the field will be approved global development by 2030, which aims to eradicate poverty and hunger.

In addition, the GA Chairman announced plans to put to a vote a draft resolution regarding peacekeeping activities UN, as well as a meeting in December high level on preparations for the World Summit on information society. In the spring of 2016, the General Assembly will hold meetings on issues of combating drugs and combating HIV/AIDS, Lykketoft said.

According to him, when organizing the work of the GA, he will take into account the countries’ interest in reforming the UN Security Council, as well as calls for “greater transparency and openness” in the selection process Secretary General.

The UN has stood the test of time

UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon praised the work plan outlined by the Chairman of the General Assembly and also declared his readiness to “provide full support for it.”

“This session marks the 70th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations. The principles laid down in the UN Charter have stood the test of time,” said Ban Ki-moon. At the same time, he drew attention to "the scale of suffering that continues in the world." “Today I especially remember the people of Syria - those facing horrific violence inside the country, and those who have fled and are desperately seeking refuge and trying to start new life", he noted.

As the UN Secretary General said, the 70th session of the General Assembly should focus on “compassion, prevention and, above all, real action.”

Development Summit and General Debate

The first major event within the GA will be the Global Development Summit, which will be held on September 25-27. Special attention attention will be drawn to the summit not only because dozens of heads of state and government will take part in it. On the opening day - September 25 - Pope Francis will visit the UN headquarters for the first time in 20 years.

The day after the end of the development summit, a general political discussion begins at the headquarters, in which over 150 heads of state and government, as well as dozens of foreign ministers of UN member states, are expected to participate this year. Speeches by country delegations will last until October 3.

Participants in the general debate are expected to touch on the world's most pressing issues, including the conflicts in Ukraine, Syria and Yemen, as well as the fight against terrorism, the situation with migrants and global change climate. The first day of debate promises to be the busiest, when the presidents of Russia, Brazil, Iran, Kazakhstan, Poland, the USA and France will speak from the podium of the General Assembly.

Debate in the UN Security Council and Quartet meeting

The general debate of the General Assembly, which will last from morning until evening, will be accompanied by many meetings on the sidelines.

Summits on UN peacekeeping and counter-terrorism issues are planned, and on September 30, the Security Council, chaired by Russia, will host ministerial debates on the topic “Maintaining international peace and security: conflict resolution in the Middle East and North Africa and combating the terrorist threat in the region."

On the same day, a high-level meeting on issues related to illegal migration and a ministerial meeting of the Quartet of Middle East peace mediators (Russia, the US, the EU and the UN) will be held.

About the UN General Assembly

The General Assembly is the main deliberative body of the UN. In 1946, a year after the formation of the United Nations, there were 51 states, now there are 193. The last country to join the UN was South Sudan in 2011.

With the expansion of the organization, the agenda of the Assembly also underwent significant changes: in the late 1940s, it was devoted mainly to the problems of decolonization. Now the range of issues discussed in the UN General Assembly includes problems of social and economic development, conflict prevention, post-war reconstruction, the fight against terrorism, corruption, drug trafficking and HIV/AIDS, the protection of women and children, the promotion of human rights and the basic principles of democracy. In addition, discussions are being held in the General Assembly format on the reform of the UN Security Council.

In fact, it officially opened on September 15, but only on September 28 did its most important part begin - the general debate, which will last until October 3. Why did all the “political heavyweights” come to New York? More than 140 heads of state and government intend to speak (despite the fact that today 193 states are members of the UN).

All last days The world's politicians lived in anticipation of the speeches of Barack Obama, Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin - and they had to speak almost one after another. Will world leaders be able to propose effective steps to ease tensions on the planet, which really threatens to develop into a big war? In our opinion, some short-term détente in relations between the United States and Russia is quite possible - primarily based on the need to somehow counter the spread of ISIS and the destruction of Europe under the pressure of refugees. But believing in “peace and friendship” is stupid and naive: the contradictions are too deep. The US claims to maintain monopoly global leadership and the strengthening of Russia, China and their BRICS partners are incompatible. New clashes are inevitable.

Incidentally, on September 28, the Chinese celebrate the birthday of Confucius, which could be a source of inspiration for Mr. Xi making his debut at such forums. On September 3, China fully demonstrated its increased military-political power at a grand parade, after which - in particular, during the visit of the President of the People's Republic of China to the United States - it began to show its readiness for peaceful cooperation and smoothing out frictions. But what is significant is that Barack Obama, upon arriving in New York, did not, as was traditional, stay at the hotel, which had recently been bought by businessmen from the Middle Kingdom.

However, the Chinese are cunning and patient, which allows them to achieve their goals without paying attention to all sorts of small pricks. I recently read an interesting statement by the Russian sinologist Sergei Tikhvinsky: “Chinese diplomacy has adhered to the “doctrine” since ancient times silkworm" This worm quietly, imperceptibly, but constantly eats, eats, eats the mulberry leaf. As a result, it gnaws the entire tree, and there are no leaves left on it. The time factor works for China - five thousand years of continuous cultural development. China has digested everyone - the Huns, the Uighurs, the Manchus - everyone.” Yes, he will “digest” America too!

Raul Castro, who is also scheduled to meet with Obama and Putin, will also speak at the General Assembly for the first time. His brother's and Che Guevara's powerful speeches at the UN entered the annals of history. Thus, Fidel Castro’s speech at the 15th session of 1960 (at the same one during which N. Khrushchev promised to show the Americans “Kuzka’s mother”!) entitled “When the philosophy of robbery disappears, then the philosophy of war will disappear” lasted 4 hours 29 minutes and entered the Guinness Book of Records.

Now the role of the frantic Fidel has been taken on by the President of the Republic of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, who spoke from the UN rostrum on September 27. “Old Man” furiously went through American policy, which led to the bloody wars in Iraq and Syria. The world, he said, is more divided today than at any time in the last 30 years. “We still have not managed to restore the balance of power that was lost with the collapse of Soviet Union. There is no balance of power, no peace, no stability. This is a systemic crisis,” Alexander Grigorievich concluded.

Global crisis and prospects for UN reform

IN lately ideas for deep reform of the UN, in particular the Security Council, are being thrown around, even to the point of expelling some of its permanent members or abolishing the right of veto. Let us tell the supporters of such ideas immediately and directly: this is impossible. It should always be borne in mind that the UN is a product of the Second World War, that it was founded by the main participants anti-Hitler coalition(“United Nations”) in order to consolidate the status quo created as a result of that war, which would ensure some kind of peace on Earth.

Therefore, in order to radically change the structure of the UN, this requires another world war and based on its results, expel all losers from the Security Council. Or even liquidate the UN and establish something else in its place - just as the Second World War put an end to the League of Nations created by the First World War. Naturally, no person in his right mind would want to overhaul the international system in this way. collective security, which the UN is primarily intended to serve.

The significance of the veto for the five permanent members of the UN Security Council (the “principle of unanimity”) is that it is the basis of the checks and balances mechanism that allows the five great nuclear powers purely peaceful and legally realize your interests. If the veto was canceled, I’m afraid that sooner or later someone would have to use another convincing argument in the form of nuclear bomb. And so Russia, the United States and other permanent members have to seek consensus on all critical issues.

The very attempt to deprive one of them of the veto right would become something akin to declaring war on this power - with all the ensuing consequences.

Now regarding the claims of specific states to obtain a seat as a permanent member of the Security Council. By the way, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, at a meeting with colleagues from Japan, India and Brazil, raised the issue of reforming the Security Council. But it is precisely Germany and Japan, with their economic strength and great political influence (especially Germany in the European Union), that do not have the moral right to claim permanent places in the Security Council - because they lost the Second World War, because they were guilty of starting it and, without statute of limitations, are responsible for tens of millions of victims of that war.

Brazil does not yet qualify for the status of a great power, especially since it does not have nuclear weapons - and this, whatever one may say, is an important basis for claiming the right of veto. Brazil is still nothing more than an influential regional subpower.

Personally, only India's claims seem convincing to me. She has a whole set of weighty arguments: this country is the second most populous and one of the largest economies in the world; she has nuclear weapons— albeit without the presence of full-fledged strategic delivery vehicles; it has four millennia of development of civilization, considerable merits in the victory in World War II and a leading role in the non-aligned movement starting with J. Nehru. However, its introduction into the club of permanent members of the UN Security Council with the right of veto would mean a sharp strengthening of the BRICS position, which, of course, the United States and its allies will never agree with.

However, in the environment global crisis and a radical change in the balance of power on the world stage, the need to reform the UN is clearly ripe - and everyone understands this. Most likely, the reform will be limited to increasing the number of members of the Security Council in general with an increase in quotas for those regions of the planet whose weight in the world economy and politics is growing ( Latin America, Southeast Asia etc.). I would suggest entering special category permanent members of the UN Security Council without the right of veto - in my opinion, this would be a good compromise.

The good intentions of the summits

On September 25-27, the UN held the Global Development Summit, which approved the “Sustainable Development Goals” for humanity until 2030. This fundamental document was agreed upon for three whole years, and it replaced similar goals (“Millennium Development Goals”, MDGs) that were adopted at the “Summit” millennium" in 2000. According to Ban Ki-moon, during this new program“You can feel proud.” “Now we must make it [the agreed agenda – K.D.] a reality for the people,” said the UN Secretary-General. True, to implement it, trillions of dollars will be needed, and annually!

The document defines 17 goals with 169 target indicators. The main goals are numbered 1 and 2: “End poverty in all its forms throughout the world” and “End hunger...”. The MDGs were similar. The final report on their implementation notes progress in resolving the problem of poverty: the number of people living on less than $1.25 a day has decreased from 1.9 billion people worldwide. in 1990 to 836 million people. now. However, China and India have made the greatest contribution to this matter, while in many African countries the problem has not been solved at all. More than 800 million people around the world still live in poverty and hunger. The number of children under 15 who are not attending school has halved, but there are still 43 million of them. The fight against AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria is difficult.

And, in general, to say that the world has become more prosperous and safer for people since 2000 ordinary people, it’s hardly possible. All measures taken by international institutions to solve global problems humanity, lead to nothing more than “half-results”. These measures are capable of reducing poverty and hunger, but are not able to eradicate them or end them, as the Goals declare.

Alexis Tsipras touched on the reasons for this in his speech at the Summit: with neoliberal thinking it is impossible to eradicate poverty. According to him, “We must move away from the neoliberal mindset that markets are the sole allocator of resources in the economy. And we can't talk about stable tax system based on a global financial system that encourages tax havens and the creation of offshore companies.” The Greek prime minister summed up his speech with a quote from John Maynard Keynes: “The difficulty lies not so much in developing new ideas as in moving away from old ones.”

Post Scriptum. Speeches by world leaders - first impressions

Briefly, briefly, the most important and revealing thoughts of the speakers.

Ban Ki-moon, of course, talked a lot about the Goals. He noted that in the world trillions of dollars are spent on weapons, and not for the benefit of people. Nowadays there are 100 million people on the planet who require urgent humanitarian aid, 60 million refugees - and they need $200 billion in aid. Speaking about the refugee problem, the UN Secretary General said that “in this millennium we should not build walls and fences.”

Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff also addressed the issue of refugees, saying that in a world where the free movement of goods and capital is declared, it is absurd to prevent the movement of people as well. Brazil is a multi-ethnic country “created by refugees” and is open to anyone in need of asylum.

D. Rousseff confirmed the demand to expand the Security Council among both permanent and non-permanent members, emphasized the important role of BRICS in the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals, and also welcomed the resumption of diplomatic relations between the United States and Cuba and advocated the lifting of US sanctions against Havana.

In B. Obama's speech great place took up lengthy discussions about democracy, human rights and popular protests against “dictatorial regimes” and corruption, which are ensured by the development of communication technologies, but are in no way connected with the activities of American NGOs. The US President defended the existing world order, thanks to which supposedly “millions of people have emerged from the shackles of poverty.” At the same time, however, the President of the United States recognized the polarization of society, frightened by the growth of the “ultra-right and ultra-left.”

Barack Obama put pressure not only on Russia, but also on China, recalling the disputes over the ownership of the islands of the South China Sea - and, as you know, it is on this basis that the Americans are putting together an “anti-Chinese arc”, trying to lure not only the Philippines, Malaysia and Thailand there , but also socialist Vietnam.

Barack Obama expressed confidence that Congress will lift the embargo against Cuba, which “should not exist.” These words caused applause.

Xi Jinping began by recalling the Victory in World War II. He called for rejecting the “Cold War mentality.” Defended the right of all countries - large and small - to choose their own political system and your path of development. Large countries must treat small ones as equals.

The Chinese leader recalled the crisis of 2008: when capital pursues only profit, this leads to big problems. You cannot rely only on the “invisible hand of the market” - you also need the firm hand of government regulation! The widening gap between wealth and poverty is unfair.

As the Chairman of the People's Republic of China stated, his country will never follow the path of hegemony, expansion and establishment of spheres of influence. It is necessary to increase the representation of developing countries, incl. African, in governing bodies UN.

Vladimir Putin's speech can be described as restrained and tough. He, like Xi Jinping, began his speech with the origins of the UN, which dates back to the Victory and the Yalta Conference. The Yalta system was paid for with tens of millions of lives. The UN is a structure that has no equal. Its essence is in developing compromises. All attempts to undermine the legitimacy of this organization (a hint at the idea of canceling the veto!) are extremely dangerous - this would lead to a slide into the “dictat of force.”

No one is obliged to adapt to the model of social structure that someone considers the only correct one. V. Putin compared the current export of now “democratic” revolutions to the “export of revolution” during the Soviet era. No one, according to him, learns from mistakes, but only repeats them.

The Islamists, no matter how cruel they may be, are by no means stupider than the leaders of the West, and it is not yet known who is using whom for their own purposes. Building a coalition against ISIS Russian President compared with the anti-Hitler coalition.

Vladimir Putin devoted a minimum of time to Ukraine in his speech - it is obvious that Moscow is seeking to shift the focus of the world community’s attention from Ukraine to Syria, and to use Middle Eastern issues to build bridges with the West. The reason for the war in Ukraine: the “confrontational thinking” of the West, which puts post-Soviet countries before a “false choice”: “to be with the West or with Russia.” Vladimir Putin emphasized the need to preserve the integrity of Ukraine.

A comparison of the speeches of the three world leaders, again, suggests that Russia and China are looking for common ground in their confrontation with America. Many thoughts of Xi Jinping and V. Putin clearly echoed each other and were contrasted with the much more “quarrelsome” rhetoric of the US President. Although Obama, in his speech, still left “windows” for negotiations and cooperation.

The speeches of the heads of the United States, China and Russia set the tone for the stubborn struggle that will certainly unfold at the opening session of the General Assembly. In any case, a tough diplomatic struggle is better than an open war - unless diplomacy prepares for this war and does not escalate into it. It is likely that reform will take place in the coming years. organizational structure UN.

Negotiations and agreements around this are extremely important in terms of which of the world powers will be able to bring the Third World countries to their side. Xi Jinping, in my opinion, has quite clearly stated that his country is best friend developing nations that, in contrast to the dictates of the United States and the imposition of its puppets through “color revolutions,” it is oriented toward “soft expansion.” That’s why he’s a “silkworm”!

The 70th anniversary session of the UN General Assembly (GA) will begin work at the headquarters of the world organization in New York. The start of the annual cycle, which promises to be one of the busiest in the entire history of the United Nations, will be given by Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and Austrian diplomat Mogens Lykketoft, who was elected chairman of the 70th session in June.

According to TASS, the official opening ceremony will take place at 15:00 local time (21:00 Kyiv time). The last meeting of the current 69th session was held at the UN headquarters the day before. Over the past 12 months, the 193 member states of the General Assembly discussed many issues and adopted about 300 resolutions and decisions by vote or consensus.

The agenda of the 70th session of the General Assembly includes 170 topics, including issues of maintaining peace and security, preventing armed conflicts, countering terrorism, racial discrimination and xenophobia, protecting environment, assistance sustainable development countries, compliance with the nuclear non-proliferation regime, protection of human rights and ensuring the rule of law.

Consideration of issues related to reform of the Security Council will also continue. On the last day of work, the 69th session of the General Assembly adopted a resolution that “decides to convene an open-ended working group on the issue of equitable representation in the Security Council and the expansion of its membership.”

In addition, the campaign to elect the UN Secretary General will officially begin within the year. Ban Ki-moon, who has held this post since January 1, 2007, expires on December 31, 2016, and he is not eligible to seek a third five-year term. On September 11, the General Assembly adopted a resolution calling for greater transparency in the process of electing the Secretary General.

So far, the list of possible contenders includes UNESCO Executive Director Irina Bokova, current UNDP Administrator Helen Clark, Chilean and Lithuanian Presidents Michelle Bachelet and Dalia Grybauskaite, and former Danish Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt.

Traditionally, a week after the opening of the session, a general political discussion takes place within the General Assembly - a debate during which delegates of UN member countries can speak out on any issue.

However, this year the general debate has been postponed until a later stage, and the first really big event within the GA will be the development summit, which will take place on September 25-27. During it, the global socio-economic development agenda for 2015-2030 will be approved, the draft of which was approved by UN member countries several weeks ago.

Particular attention will be drawn to the summit not only because dozens of heads of state and government will take part in it. On the opening day, September 25, Pope Francis will visit the UN headquarters for the first time in 20 years.

Participants in the general debate are expected to address the world's most pressing issues, including the conflicts in Ukraine, Syria and Yemen, as well as the fight against terrorism, the situation with migrants and global climate change. The first day of debate promises to be the busiest, when the presidents of Russia, Brazil, Iran, Kazakhstan, Poland, the USA and France will speak from the podium of the General Assembly.

The 70th session of the UN General Assembly is taking place in New York. On Monday, a general political discussion starts within the framework of the General Assembly session. More than 150 heads of state and government, as well as foreign ministers and heads of delegations will speak to its participants.

Russian President Vladimir Putin decided to take part in the General Assembly meeting. Before this, Putin spoke at three sessions of the General Assembly - in 2000, after becoming president, in 2003 and 2005. In 2009, President Dmitry Medvedev spoke at the session.

Moscow and Washington agreed to hold a meeting between Putin and US President Barack Obama on September 28 on the sidelines of the General Assembly session.

New ones first

From old to new

Hollande suggested that Security Council members not use the veto in the event of mass deaths. A veto is not the right to block, but the right to act, the French President believes.

Hollande proposed creating a coalition that would form a new government that would lead Syria into a future without dictatorship.

Turning to the topic of the Middle East, Hollande said that the situation in Syria “requires intervention.” He agreed with the need to find a joint solution, but recalled that the tragedy began with a revolution that wanted to overthrow a dictatorship that was killing its own people. “Three years ago we were not talking about terrorists,” Hollande said. According to him, many Syrians fled the country not from war and terrorists, but from the “Assad regime.” The French president stressed that the tragedy arose “due to the alliance of terrorists and dictatorship.”

Hollande believes that in order to transition to a new energy policy developed countries$100 billion needs to be allocated.

French President Francois Hollande began his speech with fears that the planet faces problems if no agreement is reached on climate change.

Russian President Vladimir Putin met on the sidelines of the UN with the organization's Secretary General Ban Ki-moon. In a conversation with him, the head of state expressed hope for reaching agreements on the fight against terrorism. At the same time, Putin emphasized that without strengthening government agencies In the states of the region, including Syria, the task of combating terrorism cannot be solved.

Terrorism arises in the shadow of tyranny, fueled by hatred after torture in prisons. We confirm our readiness to fight terrorism, but we need to understand its causes, the Qatari leader believes.

Russian President Vladimir Putin, after speaking at a session of the UN General Assembly, briefly spoke “on his feet” with the President of Tajikistan Emomali Rahmon, TASS reports. After his speech, Putin left the meeting room, where several dozen people were waiting for him for the traditional greeting. Coming out of the hall, the Russian President saw Rakhmon among those greeting him and approached him, after which the two presidents exchanged several phrases.

Iraq, Syria, Yemen are examples of crises that are fueled by extremism and the indifference of the international community, Rouhani believes. The roots of today's wars are military interventions and invasions.
“It is necessary that US actions take into account the realities of the region,” the Iranian president concluded.

“If not for the US military intervention in Afghanistan and Iraq” and its support for the Zionist regime, the terrorists would not have been able to justify their crimes, Rouhani added.

The Iranian President noted the dangers posed by terrorist organizations in the Middle East and North Africa. According to him, these organizations “could turn into terrorist states.”

“We believe that in order to fight terrorists, it is necessary to adopt a legally binding international document so that no country can use terrorism as an excuse to interfere in the affairs of other states,” the Iranian leader noted, adding that Tehran supports the establishment of democracy in Syria and Yemen.

“We support the establishment of power through elections, not through weapons,” Rouhani said. He called for the creation of a united front to combat extremism and violence.

Putin suggested returning to basic principles work of the UN, announced at the first session of the General Assembly in January 1946 in London: good will, contempt for intrigue and a spirit of cooperation.

Unilateral sanctions “bypassing the UN” pursue political goals and, in addition, make it possible to eliminate economic competitors, he believes Russian leader. In return, he proposes to speed up integration processes, citing Russia’s cooperation with China as an example.

In addition, he noted, a number of countries have taken the path of closed exclusive economic associations, and negotiations on their creation are being conducted behind the scenes. “They probably want to confront us all with the fact that the rules of the game can be changed, and without the participation of the WTO. This affects the interests of all states,” warns the Russian President, proposing to discuss this issue with the participation of the UN and the WTO.

Meanwhile, Ukraine's permanent representative to the UN Yuriy Sergeev

So will the US fight against terrorism or not?

The speech of the Russian President at the UN is discussed by all world media
IS did not arise out of nowhere, it was nurtured as a weapon against unwanted regimes, the Russian President said
*********
We should all not forget the experiences of the past. For example, we remember examples from the history of the Soviet Union. The export of social experiments, attempts to spur changes in certain countries, based on their ideological principles, often led to tragic consequences, leading not to progress, but to degradation. However, it seems that no one learns from the mistakes of others, but only repeats them, and the export of revolutions, now so-called “democratic” ones, continues.
********
The point is not Russia’s ambitions; it is impossible to tolerate the current situation in the world.
*********
By acting together, we will make the world stable and safe.
*******
They want to confront us all with the fact that the rules of the game have been rewritten in the interests of a narrow circle of people
*******
The decisions discussed at the UN site are agreed upon in the form of resolutions, or are not agreed upon. Or as diplomats say - they pass or they don’t pass. And any actions of any states that bypass this order are illegitimate and contradict the UN Charter and modern international law.
********
Aggressive external intervention led to the fact that instead of reforms state institutions, way of life were simply unceremoniously destroyed. Instead of the triumph of democracy and progress, there is violence, poverty, social catastrophe, and human rights, including the right to life, are not valued at all.
*******
I just want to ask those who created such a situation - do you even understand now what you have done? I’m afraid this question will hang in the air, because the policy, which is based on self-confidence in its exclusivity and impunity, has not been abandoned.
******
We are all different and this must be respected. No one is obliged to adapt to one model of development, recognized by someone once and for all as the only correct one.
Let us recall that before Putin, the presidents of Brazil, the USA, Poland, China and the king of Jordan made speeches at the UN General Assembly. American leader Barack Obama said that the use of sanctions against Moscow is not evidence of the US desire to return to " cold war"At the same time, Obama emphasized that the United States is ready to protect its partners and can use force "unilaterally."
The anniversary assembly began its work on September 16. A meeting between Vladimir Putin and US President Barack Obama is scheduled to take place on its margins. It is expected that the main topic of conversation will be the situation in Syria. The parties also planned to discuss the conflict in Ukraine.

Vladimir Putin, in his speech at the UN General Assembly, called to account those who created in the Middle East conflict situation and allowed the spread of terrorism.
"Political, social problems had been brewing in this region for a long time, people there, of course, wanted change. But what actually happened? Aggressive external intervention led to the fact that instead of reforms, state institutions, and the very way of life, were simply unceremoniously destroyed. Instead of the triumph of democracy and progress, there is violence, poverty, social catastrophe, and human rights, including the right to life, are not valued at all,” Putin said in a speech broadcast on the Rossiya 24 channel. “I just want to ask.” those who created this situation: do you even understand now what you have done?”
The Russian President drew attention to the danger of exporting “democratic” revolutions. “The export of revolutions, now so-called democratic ones, continues,” Putin said. He clarified that in all the countries where this happened, the situation did not progress, but deteriorated.

It is no longer possible to tolerate the current situation in the world. This was stated by Russian President Vladimir Putin during his speech at the UN General Assembly. This applies to both the situation in the Middle East and the crisis in Ukraine. According to him, the coup in Ukraine was provoked from the outside. Regarding Syria, Vladimir Putin called for support for the legitimate government of Bashar al-Assad, as well as support for the governments of Libya and Iraq.
