“The imposition of well-known models from the outside, an explanation of what democracy should look like in one country or another in Africa or the Middle East, creates chaos in vast territories, leads simply to the destruction of states and the total spread of terrorism in the world,” TASS quoted the head of the Russian Cabinet .

In April, the US State Department announced its intention to allocate $ 4.5 million to "investigate" the crimes in Syria and Iraq, as well as organize trials for the "restoration" of democratic institutions in these countries.

In addition, it was reported that the EU plans in 2020 to increase spending on democracy promotion programs to € 1.3 million.
