Moscow, Russian Presidential Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that escalation of tension in the Middle East is in no one’s interest.
Sputnik quoted Peskov as saying to reporters Monday that We are extremely concerned about the escalation of tension in the region. Further escalation is in no one’s interests. We call on all the countries in the region to exercise restraint and we are in favor of political settlement.
