Baku – APA. Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova has commented on US State Department spokesman John Kirby’s remarks about Russia Today TV channel.
Earlier on Wednesday, US State Department spokesman John Kirby found himself hard pressed during a press briefing when RT journalist Gayane Chichakyan asked him to provide some specifics regarding the claims made by the department about Russian forces allegedly carrying out strikes against hospitals in Syria. Also, he added he did not regard the television channel as an independent media outlet.
The incident was outrageous, Zakharova told a press briefing on Thursday. "Do you want your journalists to be in that position?"
She noted that this incident is unprecedented, with some journalists receiving special treatment.
Zakharova then said that this issue will be discussed during the upcoming meeting between Lavrov and Kerry in Peru.
She added that Moscow hopes that the White House will be more careful about the bilateral relationship between Russia and the US.
