MOSCOW: None of the regime changes initiated by Washington in other countries led to initially promised results, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov told TASS.
Ryabkov’s commentary comes in the wake of US Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s statement, who said earlier that Cuba’s economy "needs to change," but it will not be able to do so unless the country’s public administration system changes.
"No matter how many instances I try recalling that have numerously occurred over the past decades, and even earlier, related to the change of regimes, governments, and changes of power that were carried out either based on a proposal of the United States or with its direct participation, there is simply no example when one could say that as a result of such instances any country increased its well-being, stability and sustainability, not to mention the standard of living of the population’s majority," he said in an interview with TASS.
“We see the same scenario repeating itself over and over again, when an undisguised and ignorant of the specifics of certain countries and regions American intervention led to exactly opposite results,” Ryabkov noted.
The Russian diplomat cited as an example in this regard countries of the Middle East, Africa and Latin America.
"However, there is also an aspect to add that is related to Washington’s blatant disregard under various administrations, which was typical of many democratic administrations, and it is related to basic norms of international law, including the sovereign equality of countries, non-interference in domestic affairs, and so on," Ryabkov added.
