Russia ready to solve problems between Arab States and Iran

Russia would like to help solve problems in relations between the Arab States of the Gulf and Iran, Russian Foreign Ministry Sergey Lavrov said at the joint press conference with his Saudi counterpart Adel al-Jubeir.

"We know about the very dangerous attempts to present these disagreements as a reflection of a split in the Muslim world. We believe that such attempts to provoke the situation in this sphere are unacceptable. It is in the interests of Islam to ensure unity of all its branches," TASS cited him as saying.

Lavrov added that Russia "would like to help solve specific problems" in relations between the Arab States of the Gulf and Iran. 

"We have good relations with the CCASG members and Iran And we will be ready to use these good relations in order to help create the conditions for a specific conversation on normalization, which can be attained only through direct dialogue," he said.
