GELENDZHIK (Sputnik) - The West has not given up on its efforts to reshape Central Asia and it seeks to turn the region into a springboard for threats against Russia, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Galuzin said on Tuesday.
"Today, the West is not abandoning attempts to reformat this region for itself, to ensure access to its natural resources, and to control the transport corridors running through it. It seeks to turn Central Asian countries into a springboard of threats against Russia's security," Galuzin said at a conference of the Valdai International discussion club.
