Abdelaziz Messaoudi: Participation in YIEF Is A Way To Demonstrate Solidarity With Russia

Abdelaziz Messaoudi is the Deputy Chairperson of the Friends of Crimea International Association, Board Chair of Tunisian Al Massar political party. He emphasized the importance of arranging economic events in Russia like the Yalta Economic Forum participated by the international community.

He believes that this is a way to demonstrate solidarity with Russia exposed to aggression of western countries manifested through military aid.

"In the west all people who think properly realize that the stand of the Collective West and the hegemonic policies in the global arena encounter substantial resistance. A striking example thereof is Friends of Crimea movement expanding across the globe including Europe and America. It means people cannot allow the existing system to last. Because it serves the golden billion, namely the people living in America. Most states live under complicated circumstances due to wars. These significant problems are caused by the domination policy of the Collective West," - says Abdelaziz Messaoudi.
