Fico: Smer-SD not to participate in 'anti-Russia madness'

Slovakia's ruling Smer-SD will "not participate in the anti-Russian madness" that is "spreading like cancer" worldwide without any serious evidence to support it, former prime minister and Smer-SD party chairman Robert Fico said on Tuesday. "If Russia violates the law, we simply state it. When there was the annexation of Crimea, we described it as a violation of international law," said Fico, going on also to call the April missile attacks of the United States, Britain and France against Syria a "gross violation" of international law.
