Moscow Opposes Any UNSC Attempt To Justify Intervention in Syria
Local Editor
Russia will not support any decisions at the UN Security Council that could justify foreign interference in Syria's affairs. This was announced by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in an interview for China's Central Television.
Russia's Foreign Minister reminded that "at an international conference in Geneva in June, permanent members of the Security Council, the European Union and leading countries of the Middle East reached agreement on a resolution of the Syrian conflict, which presupposed putting pressure on all parties to the conflict, urging them to end violence and start negotiations."
Lavrov deemed unfeasible proposals that proceed from the fact that the country's government will begin the process towards a truce with a unilateral withdrawal of troops from the cities.
"This approach is unrealistic, since it is, in point of fact, an appeal to the government for unilateral surrender. Those who call for it, are either naive, or seek to provoke a military intervention," the minister said.
The head of the Russian diplomacy reiterated that his country "will oppose any attempts for approving in the UN Security Council any resolutions that might be later used to justify external intervention."
