MOSCOW, June 12./ITAR-TASS/. Moscow resolutely condemns the terrorists’ designs to get entrenched in Iraq, Syria and other parts of the region, spokesman for the Russian Foreign Ministry Alexander Lukashevich said on Thursday in a statement devoted to the deteriorating situation in Iraq.

“An extremely sharp and tense situation has gained momentum in Iraq,” the diplomat said.

“It is beyond doubt that those who invaded Iraq over ten years ago and imposed their decisions and will on the peoples of the region have triggered most of the processes of destabilization the results of which are evident practically in the entire Middle East,” he said.
