MOSCOW, (SANA) – Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Grushko on Monday hoped that the NATO Alliance will not take during its meeting tomorrow any steps that would aggravate situation in Syria or foiling the political settlement of the crisis in Syria.
In an interview with Novosti news agency in Vienna where he arrived to participate in The Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) conference, Grushko said that Turkey's call for NATO Council concerning the shot down of the Turkish jet last Friday is a worrisome indication to a military escalation in Syria.
He added that the efforts of the international community should be aimed at preparing the current circumstances for shifting the military situation to a political process and for pushing all Syrian parties to sit at the dialogue table to discuss a political solution.
