MOSCOW, (Sputnik) – The West is trying to sabotage the formation of multipolarity in the modern-day world, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said in an interview with the state-run Islamic Republic Of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB).
“The process of the formation of multipolarity is irrevocable. History cannot be stopped. However, we are witnessing attempts to slow down this process. Recently, our Western colleagues have realized that it was impossible to completely restore a unipolar world, as craved by Americans and their allies,” Lavrov told IRIB.
The top Russian diplomat added that the European countries were increasingly failing to reclaim independence and power in the new world order, so they hoped for Euro-Atlantic solidarity.
Lavrov added that Russia and Iran were two major global actors that would play their roles in the formation of the new world order.

Notably, the top Russian diplomat stressed that regardless of the existing relations between the countries, the world needs to unite in the face of common threats, one of them being international terrorism.
The minister went on to address regional conflicts, namely the recent Nagorno-Karabakh war.
Iran’s concerns, according to the minister, were understandable, as the normalization of relations between neighboring Azerbaijan and Armenia would affect Iranian transit interests.

Speaking further about international relations and current issues, Lavrov pointed out that Russia would seek new ways of dealing with Western sanctions.
The top diplomat added that a “club of advocates for justice” in global economic affairs had already been created, with Russia and Iran being its members.
