Moscow intends to continue urging the sides of the Yemen conflict to display a constructive approach and readiness for compromises during discussions of existing disagreements, Russian Foreign Minister said in an interview Sunday, Eurasia Diary reports citing Tass. 

"We intend to keep supporting the efforts of the UN Secretary General Special Envoy for Yemen Martin Griffits, as well as keep urging Yemeni President Abdrabbuh Mansur Hadi and the leadership of the Houthi Ansar Allah movement to exercise a constructive approach and readiness for compromises when discussing the existing disagreements," he said.

Lavrov noted that settlement in Yemen was one of the topics of discussion during his recent negotiations with the Persian Gulf states’ leadership between March 9 and 11.

"We closely follow the development of the situation in the country, where an acute military-political crisis has been going for six years already. We are especially concerned about the restored hostilities between the Houthis and the forces loyal to the President in the Marib province," the top diplomat said.

"We expressed our hope that their implementation would lead to increase of public security level, would make it possible to focus on solving social and economic problems in this part of Yemen, and would create favorable conditions for initiation of talks between the united delegation of official Yemeni authorities and the Southern Transitional Council with the Ansar Allah movement’s leadership regarding the country’s future political system," the top diplomat continued.
