Americans should not only think of upcoming elections, but of Mideast region: Lavrov | Al Arabiya English

 The Americans should not only think their upcoming elections but also about the future of the Middle East region, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told Al Arabiya in an exclusive interview.
“I hope that the Americans understand that they must think not only about the elections, which are coming in a month and a half, but also about the future of this region, which is one of the most important regions of the world,” Lavrov told Al Arabiya’s UN Bureau Chief Talal al-Haj.
Lavrov was responding to US foreign policy involving Kurdish separatists’ strands in Syria, saying that it stood with its ally Turkey in “maintaining the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Syrian Arab Republic.”
“The recent decision to bring an American oil company and to start pumping oil for their own purposes, without any respect for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Syrian Arab Republic as resolutions resolution 2254 demands, of course, this creates a very nervous situation for many countries in this region,” Lavrov said.
