ASTANA, September 12 (Itar-Tass) - The most severe crisis in the Middle East and the threats it is fraught with must be neutralized, or else they will hit one and all, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Thursday. He was speaking to an audience of the Eurasian University.

“I see the ongoing events with alarm. The strongest crisis is underway there (the Middle East),” he said. All statements in favor of using force against Syria cause surprise.

“Seriously minded politicians cannot but be unaware of how harmful this is,” he said.
