UFA. July 9 (Interfax) - BRICS and SCO member countries unanimously maintain that the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) is absolute evil, and double standards cannot be applied in fighting it with the purpose of toppling 'undesirable' regimes, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has said.
"Declarations [to be issued] at the BRICS summit today and the SCO summit tomorrow will state that ISIL is absolute evil… and this absolute evil should be fought adamantly, without applying double standards and without trying to use for timeserving purposes any abnormal situations in which some may think that terrorists [operating] in a particular country can be temporary associates or be used to depose undesirable regimes," Lavrov said at a press briefing in Ufa on Thursday.
