Russia's Contacts With Venezuelan Opposition Continue - Lavrov

MOSCOW (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 06th June, 2019) Moscow does not stop contacts with Venezuela's opposition, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said.

"As for your question about working with the opposition, we are not quitting this work. As I said, in Venezuela we responded several times to requests for contacts.

These contacts took place," Lavrov said in an interview with RBC.

"During these conversations, we reaffirmed our position in favor of a national dialogue, expressed disagreement with the fact that in response to the call of the 'Montevideo Mechanism' to start such a dialogue, when President [Nicolas] Maduro agreed, [opposition leader Juan] Guaido haughtily refused," he said.
