Moscow, SANA – Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Wednesday that his country made significant achievements regarding Syria by preventing foreign military intervention in this country.
During an interview with Russian media representatives, Lavrov said “we presented initiatives for inter-Syrian consultations, and the Moscow Principles were adopted which provided room for wider UN activity.”
He stressed the need to combat terrorism systematically without double standards and within a strategy approved by the international community.
The Russian official said that it is odd that some countries are helping Iraq in its battle against terrorism and at the same time they refuse to coordinate with the Syrian government, adding that the US had declared war on ISIS, yet it refuses to communicate with the Syrian government in this regard.
He highlighted that Russia had provided more efficient support to the Syrian and Iraqi security agencies and armies in their battle against terrorism than the US, and that the US refuses to admit that its policies in Iraq, Syria, and Libya have actually resulted in the emergence of the ISIS, as Al Qaeda is a result of similar US policies in the region.
