TEHRAN, October 19. /TASS/. Russia is not interested in volatility of prices on international energy markets, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said at a joint press conference after talks with Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi.

"President [of Russia Vladimir] Putin reiterated that we are not interested in price volatility, in prices bouncing up or down. We as a serious country want stability, including stable prices," the minister said.

The stability of prices is required to plan the long-term development of the country, Lavrov noted. "The latest budget, which is being reviewed at present, assumes such scenario exactly," he added.
