MOSCOW, January 15. /TASS/. Russia has data on cooperation of a number of countries with terrorists, including in the procurement of oil. This was stated by Secretary of the Russian security Council Nikolai Patrushev in an interview to “Rossiyskaya Gazeta”.
“Today at our disposal are all new and new confirmations of cooperation with terrorists as individual States and powerful foreign and in some cases even transnational companies,” he said.
Secretary of the security Council clarified that we are talking about the procurement of oil and other raw materials from terrorists, and pay them monetary rewards for obtaining permits for production and transportation of goods on the territories under their control.
“to Stop this practice – the challenge for all countries without exception, which claim that they oppose terrorism,” says Patrushev.
About the cooperation of the Russian Federation and the United States in the fight against terrorism
He also added that he expects the progress of cooperation between Russia and the United States in the fight against terrorism in 2017.
“unfortunately, the Obama administration talked more than worked with us (in countering terrorism – a comment. TASS), – said Patrushev. In the end it nullified the effectiveness of cooperation with the United States in the fight against terrorism”.
“we Hope, however, that in 2017 we will be able to establish constructive contacts with the American partners,” – said the Secretary of the security Council.
He noted that is still in demand remains the promotion of initiatives of the President of Russia Vladimir Putin on the formation of an international coalition against terrorism with global reach.
Patrushev recalled that to date have managed to intensify work within the framework of the UN Security Council, and “Russia contributed to the adoption of important resolutions aimed at combating ISIL (banned in Russia as a terrorist organization – approx. TASS) and other terrorist organizations, and terrorism financing”.
the Democrats cover up their mistakes
Actions of the outgoing US administration against Russia give reason to believe that the Democrats create the image of an external enemy to mask their own failures in domestic policy, said Patrushev.
“it seems that the Democratic party is trying to get back at Russia for their own failures and mistakes,” he said. “By and large, American citizens have little interest in the situation in the international arena, they are worried about the situation in the country, and that the failure of US domestic politics has led to such election results,” – said the Secretary of the Russian security Council.
He also expressed the opinion that the adventure of the administration of U.S. President Barack Obama has led to rampant international terrorism and humanitarian disasters.
“the Obama Administration sought to preserve its dominant role in the international arena, with its adventures, they are increasingly involved in their following the footsteps of Western countries”, he said.
“Hostile, contradicting to international law actions actually led to the rise of terrorism, the strengthening of the Sunni-Shiite and overall civilizational fault and humanitarian disasters in individual States and regions”, – said the Secretary of the security Council.
Russia has no illusions
In an interview Nikolai Patrushev also said that the Russian side has no illusions about the possibility of reducing the pressure from the United States after coming to power new President of Donald trump.
“of Course, in these conditions (the deterioration of relations between Russia and the US in recent years – approx. TASS) with the election of the President of the United States Donald trump we cannot talk about fundamental changes in Russian-American relations,” he said. “Illusions about a quick easing of measures of strategic containment of Russia we do not have”, – said Patrushev.
Secretary of the security Council believes that it will take consistent hard work in all areas, including those on which it was terminated or curtailed.
“We are ready for this work; of course, on the basis of equality and mutual respect, he stressed. – Because it will depend on stability in international relations in General, which, I am sure, is fully consistent with the fundamental interests and the American people.”
Russia is ready to dialogue
the security Council of Russia is ready to cooperate with colleagues from the USA, if they show interest in cooperation, said Patrushev.
“Believe that certain opportunities for constructive interaction with the United States opens in the fight against terrorism, in the sphere of information security and some other areas,” he said.
“In case of interest of the administration of Donald trump will be ready to resume full-scale consultations with American partners in the security Council of the Russian Federation”, – said Patrushev.
