Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, answering a question about the art of Russian diplomacy, told an anecdote about the Armenian radio.
The Foreign Minister used the opportunity to show off his wit during his interview with the Public Television of Russia.
"Armenian radio was asked: "What is diplomacy?“They replied that there are several options, but the most decent one is: diplomacy is the art of sending a person to the right address, but to do it in such a way that he looks forward to the trip. This can also be included in the arsenal of methods of diplomacy," Lavrov said.
He added that in fact, the primary task of diplomacy is to defend national interests while respecting the interests of worthy partners.
As reported by EADaily, earlier Sergey Lavrov said that Western countries had declared war on Russia, in which the Kiev regime was on Ukraine is being used as a geopolitical battering ram.
