The different reactions of the United States of America to the events taking place in Georgia and Moldova only causes a smile, - said the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Russia, Sergey Lavrov.

"The position of the West, the Department of State, which in a pathetic tone declares the inadmissibility of such an attitude towards civil society (in Georgia), is funny. In Georgia, the opposition not only can, but is obliged to do what it wants, and in Moldova, protests against the current government are condemned, because the opposition in Georgia reflects the interests of the West, and the opposition in Moldova reflects other interests, while the government and the president reflect the interests of the West. In fact, we are witnessing two similar situations regarding protests, but the attitude towards them is fundamentally different," Lavrov said.
