Lavrov: Some AL’s Statements Fruitless, Irresponsible, Smuggling Weapons Continue
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov announced Sunday that some Security Council members are trying to dissuade the Syrian opposition from engaging in a dialogue with the Syrian authorities.
Considering that "this conduct by some UN Security Council as instigation intended for using the situation in Syria to serve geopolitical interests, Lavrov said that "this position reflects an archaic psychology that should be done away with."
"Russia proposed a draft resolution on Syria to the UN Security Council consisting of three points; stopping violence by all sides, rejecting foreign interference in the ongoing operations in Syria and launching an internal national dialogue without preconditions," the Russian official clarified.
He added that Russia will try to convince representatives of the Syrian opposition of the importance of dialogue with the Syrian authorities.
Commenting on the statements issued by Western countries on the futility of the Arab League (AL) observer mission in Syria and the impossibility of holding dialogue with the Syrian regime, Lavrov described them as "fruitless irresponsible statements."
"The western countries are trying to waste the opportunity to ease the situation in Syria which should not be allowed at all," he asserted.
The Russian Minister wondered at the decision of some Arab countries on not participating in the observer mission in Syria, referring to the Gulf States that first agreed on the decision to extend the mission, and then abstained from participating and withdrew their representatives in it.
"This raises certain questions," said Lavrov, viewing that "the mission should on the contrary be enhanced and the number of observers be increased."
He pointed out that the armed groups in Syria have increased in number and are being increasingly armed, affirming that weapons smuggling into Syria is continuing.
For his part, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Alexander Lukashevich said the Arab League's decision to suspend the monitoring mission in Syria raises additional concern in Russia.
