“I am glad that in the United States, apart from the American leadership, there are people who are not indifferent to how our relations are developing,” Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said during a meeting with American political experts in Moscow, Friday.SOT, Sergei Lavrov, Russian Foreign Minister (Russian): "I am glad that in the United States, apart from the American leadership, there are people who are not indifferent to how our relations are developing. And we are open to any form of cooperation that would be mutual and beneficial, and our American counterparts are aware of that." SOT, Sergei Lavrov, Russian Foreign Minister (Russian): "There are many issues in our relations that require attention and joint solutions. Not just our countries but all the international community is interested in that. And our cooperation in Syria even though it is not absolutely devoid of issues due to certain differences in our perception, this is an example of how we can put aside our differences and try to find common solutions together."SOT, Dimitri Simes, American political expert (English): "I think it is clear to you, and it is clear to us, that the relations are at a very low point. It is clear that they are at a low point because we have different perspectives on many issues, we have sometimes different interests, genuinely different interests, but I think that low point also clearly because of strong emotions on both sides, and sometimes politics is affecting things in the US, but I also think, to some extent probably in Russia."SOT, Dimitri Simes, American political expert (English): "I would like to remind you that the American people have elected as president a person who made very clear during his electoral campaign that he wanted to improve relations with Russia. He was criticized many times. He was accused of being a Russian agent many times, he was told that he was publicly attacking all kind of foreign leaders but never President Putin, he was told that his view of Russia was ignorant, idealistic and contrary to American interests. Nonetheless candidate Trump always stayed on course. And he was elected."Video ID: 20170929 048Video on Demand: http://www.ruptly.tv Contact: [email protected]: http://twitter.com/Ruptly Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/Ruptly
