Russia has threatened Washington to cut diplomatic relations between the countries if it is recognized as a "state sponsor of terrorism".

Axar.az reports that Alexander Darchiyev, the official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia, spoke about this.

"If the mentioned initiative is implemented, it will seriously damage the bilateral diplomatic relations with Washington," said the diplomat.

It should be noted that currently Iran, North Korea, Cuba and Syria are included in the list of countries sponsoring terrorism.
