Lavrov: ’’Friends of Syria’’ A Call for Siding with One Syrian Side

Local Editor

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov viewed Tuesday that "the idea of establishing the so-called "Friends of Syria" group is considered a call for the international community to side with one of the parties in Syria."
 
According to "Russia Today TV", Lavrov stressed upon his arrival in the Netherlands that "the international community has made quite a few efforts to incite the Syrian opposition not to enter into any dialogue with the government."

Warning of "an underway process to prepare files of libel about Syria," he clarified that "they can be used to justify something like what happened in Libya."
 
The top of the Russian diplomacy noted that "the Arab League's decision to halt the Arab monitoring mission, and its proposition of an alternative initiative on forming a joint mission of the League and the United Nations raise questions."

"They aim at provoking the Syrian government into rejecting this mission as it did announce its rejection," Lavrov clarified.
