Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has called on the BRICS (the acronym standing for an association of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) partners to support Russia’s concept of collective security in the Gulf, APA reports citing TASS.

"Russia stands for the soonest normalization of the situation in this region [the Gulf]. For these ends we have elaborated a concept of collective security and cooperation in the Gulf. All of our BRICS colleagues have the text of this concept. We hope for your support," he said at a BRICS ministerial meeting on Friday.

According to the Russian top diplomat, tensions in that region have been escalated due to the anti-Iranian steps taken by a number of countries. "The development of the situation has reached a dangerous line, which is fraught with risks of large-scale warfare. We must do our best to prevent it," he stressed.
