UNITED NATIONS, September 27 (RIA Novosti) — Russia suggests adopting a UN General Assembly declaration on nonrecognition of a coup as a way to change the regime in a country, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said at the 69th session of the UN General Assembly on Saturday.
"Why not adopt a General Assembly declaration on the inadmissibility of interference in the internal affairs of sovereign states and the nonrecognition of a coup as a means to change regime?" Lavrov said.
"It is time to eliminate completely from international communication attempts of some states to illegally put pressure on other countries," he added.
The minister noted that in 1933 the US government demanded guarantees from Moscow that it would not interfere with the US internal affairs and attempt to change political and social system of the United States.
"Back then, Washington was afraid of the revolution virus, and such guarantees were granted on a reciprocal basis. Perhaps, it is worth reviving those guarantees and spreading the US demands from that time universally," Lavrov said.
