Russia’s attitudes are based on moral principles, says Mikdad

DAMASCUS, (ST) _ Russia’s attitudes towards Syria are based on moral principles and basis of international legitimacy, Deputy Foreign and Expatriates Minister Dr. Fayssal Mikdad said on Tuesday.

In a meeting with, Alexander Nazarov, Director of Russia Today channel, Mikdad praised Russia’s balanced attitudes towards crisis Syria is going through in particular and the world issues in general.

“Unlike some western countries, Russia’s attitudes aren’t based on narrow and selfish interests,” said Mikdad.

He lauded Russia Today’s credibility, noting that other channels proved to be involved in terrorist acts in Syria have no longer credibility.

Mikdad also briefed Nazarov on the latest developments in Syria in light of the vicious attack on it.
