Lavrov says West seeks to use Gorbachev’s name for its geopolitical purposes

Lavrov also pointed out that those who spoke about relations with Gorbachev include former US Secretary of State James Baker.

“Baker said of Gorbachev: ‘I thought he was an honest negotiator and I could count on his word.’ That’s an amazing revelation. Because we were counting on Baker’s word as well. By we I mean the leadership of the Soviet Union. About the non-expansion of NATO to the east, among other things. They cheated us brazenly,” Lavrov said.
