At the same time, there is an overly large probability that engagement in the region can result in negative consequences for Russia. This was expressed by Alexander Aksenyonok, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary, member of the Russian Council for Foreign Affairs at the presentation, titled “The Middle East: Darkness before the New Dawn? Regional Conflicts and the Future of the Global Community.”
