Moscow-Sana
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said that the foreign policies of the United States and other Western countries strengthen terrorism.
On her Facebook page, Zakharova denounced the statement by German Foreign Minister Heiko Mas, who said: "Europe cannot defend itself without America." Once, France or others, what they are exposed to periodically today are attacks of international terrorism and the United States can not even protect itself from it.
"All these countries combined with their strange international policies create more and more reasons to strengthen terrorism from year to year," she said.
Zakharova cited data from the Stockholm Peace Research Institute 2017, which lists the countries that import arms from the United States and France, including Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Turkey, Morocco and others.
"If Europe is afraid of an attack coming from Africa, Asia and the Middle East, why are they selling weapons to them?"
