Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on Friday laid the blame for a "bleeding Middle East and North Africa" on the U.S. and its allies, in a speech to the U.N. General Assembly, Daily Mail reports.
Suggesting that the West was gripped by attempts to impose its own vision of a world order, Lavrov invoked George Orwell and his anti-utopian "Animal Farm" novel "where all animals are equal, but some are more equal." He accused the West of promoting their own interests to the detriment of others, through "mentoring, supremacy (and) exclusiveness."
Their "arrogant attitude and feeling of their infallibility in pushing forward unilateral hazardous solutions to the most complex conflicts and crises can be observed by the example of bleeding Middle East and North Africa," he said. "As a result, the basis of world stability is being destroyed."
