Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has warned of a danger of a split between Christians and Muslims, the RIA-Novosti news agency reported on Wednesday.
“The threat of a split between civilizations could be even more terrible than what we went through in the years of the Cold War,” the minister said while visiting the St Nicholas Cathedral in Vienna.
Lavrov noted that certain problems were now arising between Christianity and Islam. He said he was certain that the Russian Orthodox Church could make a significant contribution to preventing a split between civilizations.
