Russia is no longer going to participate in the Council of Europe since EU and NATO countries that are unfriendly to Russia continue their policy towards destroying the organization and the common humanitarian and legal space in Europe, the statement by the Russian Foreign Ministry said on Thursday, APA reports citing TASS.
According to the diplomatic agency, EU and NATO countries, unfriendly to Russia, who abuse their absolute majority in the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe (CMCE), continue to pursue "a course towards the destruction of the Council of Europe and the common humanitarian and legal space in Europe."
"Russia won’t take part in transforming the oldest European organization by NATO members and those obediently following them in the EU into yet another site for chanting about the West’s superiority and grandstanding. Let them enjoy interacting with each other, without Russia," the ministry noted.
The diplomatic agency stressed that the course of events "is becoming irreversible." "Russia does not intend to tolerate these subversive actions carried out by the collective West towards setting up ‘a rules-based order’ to replace international law trampled upon by the US and its satellites," the document said.
