According to the Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs, he not only held some kind of position, but honestly performed his duties during all the years in the office.
As RIA Novosti reports, asked to comment whether he will stay in his office and if he wants to remain in the government, Lavrov said: ''You have probably been working as a journalist for a long time. Perhaps you yourself understand it ... See, everyone laughed. I was assigned to perform the duties three days ago, so I continue doing this now''.
