MOSCOW - Russia today reiterated its firm position to work to free the Middle East from weapons of mass destruction.

"We consider it important to make real progress in making the Middle East a zone free of nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass destruction and their means of delivery," Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said at a conference on nuclear non-proliferation in Moscow, the Russian Foreign Ministry said. At a conference in this regard in New York between the 18 and 22 of this month.

It is noteworthy that "Israel" is the only party in the Middle East that did not join the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, where successive occupation governments reject international efforts to free the region of weapons of mass destruction.

Ryabkov reiterated that the extension of the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START) is "the only reasonable step" to prevent the final deterioration of the situation in the area of ​​strategic stability to avoid the collapse of control and restrictive mechanisms in the field of nuclear missiles, noting that the future of the arms control and non-proliferation regime "It became unclear."

Ryabkov expressed his country's concern about the situation with regard to the START Treaty, which expires in February 2021 as the last bilateral instruments in the field of non-proliferation of strategic offensive weapons. “Washington has been actively promoting this issue in recent years and ignores Moscow's concerns about Washington fulfilling its obligations under the The treaty refuses to explain its plans regarding the extension. ”
