UN: FM Lavrov meets with Greek FM Kotzias on sidelines of UNGA

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov met with his Greek counterpart Nikos Kotzias on the sidelines of the 70th session of the UN General Assembly, Tuesday. At the beginning of the meeting Lavrov stated that he is "glad" to have an opportunity to cooperate with Kotzias both on international and regional levels as well as in economic and humanitarian spheres. He added that he is going to Paris this Friday to participate in the 'Normandy format' meeting. Before beginning their diplomatic discussion, Kotzias asked Lavrov how is he. "It's a bit messy as always in the General Assembly," Lavrov answered. "The job is not over. We are working on it. And hopefully tomorrow's meeting at the Security Council will be another step towards building solid international legal bases for whatever action might be necessary to fight ISIS and other terrorist groups," Lavrov added. The Russian foreign minister's agenda is packed with more than 50 meetings on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly, including with US Secretary of State John Kerry, Secretary General of NATO Jens Stoltenberg among others.
