Baku / 16.03.18 / Turan: Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov fell on March 15, stumbling during the rise to the forum: "Russia is a country of opportunities."
The moment of the fall was imprinted by numerous forum participants and placed on the network, but soon all the pictures were removed from the network. Nevertheless, after less than a day, the video and images reappeared on the Internet.
The head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stumbled, rising to the stage to speak and answer questions from the forum participants.
In this case, after the incident, the head of the department himself commented on the incident: "... stumbled! It's good that on the step, not on the diplomatic front!".
No the Russian media, even the opposition, write about the incident.
It is symptomatic that the incident happened at a time when Lavrov was in the spotlight because of the scandal involving the poisoning of ex-intelligence officer Sergei Skripal. After the fall, the traditionally insolent and rude tone of Lavrov clearly declined.
The gloating journalists remembered Lavrov's former "merits" when he publicly called journalists "morons" and "ill-bred." - 02D-
