The export of the so-called democratic revolutions continues, as the international community fails to learn from mistakes, which have already been made, Russian President Vladimir Putin said addressing the UNGA.<\/p>\n
He cited the example of the revolutions in the Middle East, when people wished for change, \u201cbut how did that turn out?\u201d<\/p>\n
He said that instead of triumph of democracy \u201cwe have violence and social disaster,\u201d where no one cares about human rights, including the right to life.<\/p>\n
Actions carried out without a UN mandate could destroy the system of international relations, Putin said in his address.<\/p>\n
\u201cRussia is ready to work on the basis of broad consensus on the further development of the United Nations with all partners. But we believe that attempts to undermine the authority and legitimacy of the United Nations are extremely dangerous. This can lead to the collapse of the entire architecture of international relations,\u201d Putin said.<\/p>\n
In this case there would be no other rules left \u201cbut the rule of force,\u201d he warned. The world would be dominated by \u201cselfishness rather than collective work\u201d and characterized by \u201cdictate rather than equality.\u201d<\/p>\n
Putin said that the power vacuums in the Middle East and North Africa regions have led to the emergence of extremists. The Islamic State militants (IS, formerly ISIS\/ISIL), who gained foothold in Iraq and Syria, are now seeking to dominate in the whole Islamic world, he said. Some of them have defected from the \u2018moderate\u2019 opposition in Syria, who has been supported by some Western states, he stressed.<\/p>\n
ISIS trains militants from many nations, including Europe, and Russia is not an exception, he said. Putin urged to cooperate with the Syrian government forces fighting terrorists on the ground.<\/p>\n
“We think it is an enormous mistake to refuse to cooperate with the Syrian government and its armed forces who are valiantly fighting terrorism face to face,” he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe should finally acknowledge that no one but President Assad’s armed forces and [Kurdish] militia are truly fighting Islamic State and other terrorist organizations in Syria,” he added.<\/p>\n
