Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and US Secretary of State John Kerry discussed the situation in Syria. Russia continues to firmly adhere to the agreements reached at the G8 summit in Loch Earn in June, said Lavrov,according to Voice of Russia, Interfax.
“This means that the expert conclusions on all cases of possible use of chemical weapons in Syria should be submitted to the UN Security Council, which will make decisions. We oppose the use of force by-passing this mechanism,” the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a report posted on its official website on Thursday.
The ministry specified that the phone conversation was on Kerry’s initiative and addressed the situation with Syria.
