/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "Russia proposes to launch a process of joint
assessment of the missile and nuclear threats Europe and CIS can
face," Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said during a lecture
at the Yerevan State University. Russia hopes to resume a dialogue
on anti-missile defense with NATO, according to him.
"We eye the one-sided decision to install U.S. anti-missile defense
devices in Central and Eastern Europe as a risk for Russia and whole
Europe. When we are told about technological breakthrough without
presenting any arguments, we can say one thing: this should not be
done by undermining strategic stability and creation of security
deficit in the other states," the RF FM said.
He also said that the attempts to ensure security of one state at
the expense of the others are chimerical.
"The understanding achieved by the Russian and U.S. Presidents will
allow resuming of collective discussions on anti-missile defense
between Russia and NATO," Sergey Lavrov said.
