Lavrov: Foreign Forces Seek Failure of Annan Plan in Syria
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov stated that "the truce in Syria is still very fragile and all the influential parties on either side of the conflict should be guided by the interests of the Syrian people rather than their own ambitions."
"Indeed, there are forces which are interested in the failure of the Kofi Annan plan, they were saying that even before the plan was released," Lavrov stated on Tuesday.
He also added that "they are doing their best to make their wish come true through arms deliveries to opposition forces and by encouraging militants' activities."
Also, the Russian official emphasized that the aforementioned leads to retaliation measures from the government, therefore "things are not going smoothly" for now.
"Some countries [and] some external forces are not interested in the success of the current peaceful efforts of the Security Council," Lavrov reiterated.
"These forces are trying to substitute the Security Council with various unofficial formats and are using all tools to convince the Syrian opposition not to cooperate with the government," Russia's Foreign Minister went on to say, further regretting these stances dubbing them as "counterproductive".
