He is gathering power in a number of countries, returning to the responsible fulfillment of his obligations to respect human rights, transmit TASS.
“We are deeply concerned about the unprecedented scale and global problem unleashed in recent months by a number of states against Russian and Russian-speaking residents. Since the end of February this year, Russians have been systematically discriminated against on ethnic and linguistic grounds,” the diplomat stressed.
In addition to Russia, 10 other countries also co-sponsored the statements. Among them are Belarus, Iran, China, Bolivia, North Korea, Venezuela, Syria, Nicaragua, Ethiopia and Myanmar.
In September, the Russian authorities accused one of the European countries of Russophobia.
