“The Golan Heights are captured by armed means and are actually annexed, and the Crimea became part of Russia voluntarily, on the basis of the will of the citizens. We became part of Russia in accordance with international standards, in accordance with the right to self-determination, ”said Tsekov.
According to the parliamentarian, such a statement by Pompeo shows that Washington "has no principles and standards."
“In one case, they apply some principles, in the other - others. This is a policy of double standards - the traditional policy of the United States, "- he concluded.
Earlier, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said that the rhetoric of the United States regarding the Golan Heights is not a “double standards policy” compared to its attitude to the reunification of Crimea with Russia.
According to him, the actions of the United States are necessary for the security of Israel.
