PoliticsProvoking armed conflicts has become a tool of economic manipulation, CIS chief says
CIS Secretary-General Sergey Lebedev said at the Fourth Minsk International Conference on Eurasian Security that provoking domestic and international armed conflicts has become a means of economic manipulation, enriching a select few while bringing suffering and poverty to millions. He said Middle East developments have destabilized energy markets and pointed to the growing link between worsening security and profits from volatile hydrocarbon prices.
