Russia: Forced Removal of Al-Assad to Create Unendurable Chaos
Local Editor
Russia says the potential removal of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad by force will create a new "black hole" in the Middle East that may simply not be survivable.
"If the next operation on the violent change of power in the Middle Eastern country is carried out, it will be disastrous not only for Syria, but will also become the most dangerous element in the destructive chain of events occurring in the region," Russian FM spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Tuesday according to Ria Novosti news agency.
"The region may simply not endure one more black hole," she added.
In the event of such political development, the region might not just turn into a set of "lurid" states, but "explode" simultaneously as a whole, the official said.
"The potential power shift would be "exactly" what Daesh needs. The Takfiri terrorist group has overrun about a third of Syria and Iraq, and is tyrannizing the civilian population there.
"Another area of chaos suits it [Daesh] over the odds. Therefore, we say that the most important task is to save the Syrian power structure," she said.
Russia has been carrying out a bombing campaign against terrorist positions in Syria since September 30 upon a request from the Syrian government.
On October 30, diplomats and representatives from various countries, including Iran, as well as the UN and the EU got together in the Austrian capital of Vienna for a meeting on the issue.
The talks concluded the participants' agreement on respecting Syria's national unity and sovereignty as well as eradicating the terrorist groups operating in the Arab country.
