According to correspondent from the German TV channel N24 Christoph Wanner, following the terrorist attack in France, Russian President Vladimir Putin will try to persuade the West to undertake joint measures in the fight against terrorism.
President
Putin argued that the tragedy in Nice will become a catalyst for closer
cooperation between the international community and gives an
opportunity to cause serious damage to radical Islamists in Iraq and
Syria.
Commenting on the recent terrorist attack in Nice, he said: "It is of course an absolute disaster and these are all innocent people who are either killed or seriously injured."
According to the politician, the international community should develop a common strategy against Daesh and make every effort to implement it, even if it would not correspond with the interests of Turkey, Iran and Saudi Arabia.
"He [Putin] will insist on closer cooperation
in the fight against the Islamic State [Daesh] and the radical
Islamists. In the first place, in the areas where it is possible
to cause really serious damage to the terrorists: in Iraq and — when it
comes to Russia — in Syria," the journalist said.
Earlier,
Russian Foreign Ministry's spokeswoman Maria Zakharova stressed the
need to strengthen cooperation within the international community in the
fight against terrorists and extremists. She expressed condolences
to the relatives of those killed in the terrorist attack in Nice and
called the attack a "thriller that became a reality."
In an interview with German radio Deutschlandfunk, German politician
and member of the Left Party Gregor Gysi for his turn called on the
United States and Russia to ignore their difficulties and unite their
efforts in the face of global terrorism.
Commenting on the recent terrorist attack in Nice, he said: "It is of course an absolute disaster and these are all innocent people who are either killed or seriously injured."
According to the politician, the international community should develop a common strategy against Daesh and make every effort to implement it, even if it would not correspond with the interests of Turkey, Iran and Saudi Arabia.
"And the first thing we need here, is an
understanding between the US and Russia. But we impose sanctions
against Russia, instead of saying, well, let us jointly move Assad's
issue back and decide together how we eliminate the Islamic State," the politician stated.
At least 84 people were killed and hundreds of people injured after a
terrorist drove a truck through hordes of people celebrating Bastille
Day in Nice. In the wake of the horrific attack in Nice, French
President Francois Hollande addressed the nation, announcing that he
will extend a country-wide state of emergency and accelerate attacks
on Daesh in Iraq and Syria.
