MOSCOW (Sputnik) – NATO’s build-up of its contingents along the border with Russia causes concerns, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Wednesday.
«We are following with concern the build-up of NATO contingents along the entire line of contact with Russia. Incidentally, it has lengthened significantly since the admission of formerly neutral Sweden and Finland to the alliance, and it is unclear why they were unhappy with their life in neutral status,» Lavrov said at the 13th International Meeting of High Representatives in Charge of Security Issues in Moscow.
«At these talks on May 16 in Istanbul, we insisted on the abolition of all these discriminatory laws and we will continue to do so at the next round of direct talks, which we will announce very soon,» Lavrov said.
There is hope that Iran and the United States will make progress in nuclear negotiations and the process is moving in the right direction, Lavrov said.
«The right to enrichment in the framework of peaceful use of nuclear energy programs is key [in the negotiations between Iran and the United States].
