The Americans finally heard about Russia's desire to solve the issue of collective security in Europe, Marat Bashirov said.
The political scientist recalled that such a format existed, it was called the Helsinki Agreements. They were closed between 35 countries, including the USA, Canada and the Soviet Union. At that moment the OSCE appeared, he added.
"When the Soviet Union ceased to exist, the Europeans refused to abide by these Helsinki agreements, and NATO went to our borders, and Yugoslavia was simply destroyed," Bashirov said on Sputnik radio.
Kushner [stated] that it is necessary to return to the format of the Helsinki agreements on a new basis. Why did the Europeans rush to Abu Dhabi? "They understood that the Americans and we pose a wider problem than the conflict in Ukraine. And for them it is a danger, in fact, it stops the militarization of Europe," he said.
