Russia hopes that the Qatar affair will not affect the general intention, including that of the Persian Gulf countries, to fight against terrorism, Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.
Peskov noted that Russia, which is as an active participant in the process of struggle against international terrorism, hopes that this situation will in no way affect the general determination in the struggle against terrorism.
Asked about the Kremlin’s attitude to the Qatar affair Peskov replied that "Russia cannot intervene in the internal affairs of other countries, in this particular case, Persian Gulf states."
Russian presidential spokesman also recalled that Russian President Vladimir Putin has said more than once that Russia has never intervene and doesn’t like to see others intervene in its affairs. He added that Russia certainly appreciates its relations with the Persian Gulf countries in general and with the individual countries of that region in particular.
"We are genuinely interested in maintaining this good relationship and in a stable and peaceful atmosphere in the Middle East for settling the exiting disagreements," TASS cited Peskov as saying.
