The Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Alexander Lukashevich stated that the United States turns the situation upside down when reproaching Syrian President Bashar al-Assad for reluctance to participate in the international conference Geneva-2 without preliminary conditions.
Russian FM Spokesperson: Syrian Government Supported Geneva Conference from Beginning
"Deputy for the [US State Department] spokesman has made another awkward statement that the difficulties in calling the Geneva-2 are allegedly related to the reluctance of the Syrian leader President Bashar al-Assad to participate in this forum without preliminary conditions. Such a statement is turning the entire situation upside down, to put it mildly," Lukashevich said on Friday.

"The Syrian Authorities supported the Geneva communique of June 30, 2012 from the very beginning," he added.

"The problem with organizing the calling of the Geneva-2 conference is namely that the opposition is not ready to participate in this forum and sets preliminary conditions for its involvement in the format," Lukashevich said.
