ANTALYA (Turkey) (Sputnik) – Moscow hopes that the deadly attacks in Paris will cause the priorities if the United States, as well as for other NATO members, to shift, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said Sunday.

"We hope that the events in Paris maybe after all will clear the air and will change the scale of priorities of our colleagues in Washington and in other NATO capitals a little bit," Ryabkov told journalists.

On Friday night, extremists wearing explosive belts and carrying automatic weapons attacked several sites across Paris, killing 129 and injuring dozens of people at restaurants, the Bataclan concert hall and in the vicinity of the Stade de France sports arena.
