Russia Supports Internal Dialogue in Syria, Rejects Ultimatums Language
Russia’s Foreign Minister, Sergei Lavrov, renewed on Tuesday his
country’s rejection of using the language of ultimatums in dealing with
Syria by the Arab League (AL).
Lavrov stressed that dialogue is the only way to reach a solution to the situation in Syria.
At
a press conference with his Algerian counterpart, Murad Medelci, in
Moscow, Lavrov pointed out that the armed groups in Homs province are
bombarding military units, government buildings and hospitals in the
city to create a human catastrophe and make a pretext for foreign
interference.
He stressed his country’s rejection of any sanctions against Syria, clarifying that sanctions would give opposite results.
Lavrov
said that his country is ready to send observers to Syria, pointing
out to the possibility of sending observers from the BRICS countries.
In
the same context, Russia’s Permanent Representative to the United
Nations, Vitaly Churkin, stressed that the Western countries are
adopting incorrect stances regarding finding solution to the Syrian
crisis as they are hindering internal dialogue in Syria.
During a
UN Security Council session dedicated to discuss the situation in
Syria, Churkin warned against the dangerous stances of the Western
countries which seek to “change the regime” in Syria and hinder holding
dialogue between Syria and the AL.
He pointed out that the tragic developments in Syria in the past few months caused deep concern inside the UN Security Council.
It’s worth mentioning that Russia presides the Security Council during the current month.
Deputy Foreign Minister of Russia: We will not pass any Resolution that includes Using Force against Syria
Deputy
Foreign Minister of Russia Gennady Gatilov underlined that his country
will not pass any new resolution against Syria whether it will
directly or indirectly refer to any possibility of using force or
military intervention, saying “Russia doesn’t see any bases to refer
the Syrian issue to the International Criminal Court.”
“Russia’s
stance on the draft resolution prepared by the Western countries
against Syria is well known… Russia considers this draft resolution as
unbalanced and includes unilateral accusations against the Syrian
authorities, it takes no consideration the destructive acts of the
armed opposition,” Gatilov said in a statement.
He added that
Russia sees the evaluation of the Higher Commission of the Human Rights
submitted to the UN Security Council as expressing a personal
viewpoint because “We have no confidence in the existence of evidence
on the information presented, they were based on emotional
evaluations.”
