MOSCOW, January 18. /TASS/. The anti-terrorist coalition in the Middle East should coordinate its actions with the countries in the region, Russian State Duma Speaker Sergey Naryshkin said on Monday. "Of course, we pay great attention to creating a broad international anti-terrorist coalition. We are confident that the coalition should rely in its actions on the norms of international law, on the norms of UN Charter, and should act in close coordination with the authorities of the countries in the region which takes the largest burden of fighting against terrorism," Naryshkin at the meeting with Emir of Qatar Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani. Al Thani is on his first official visit to Russia that is taking place on January 17-19 on the invitation of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
