TEHRAN -Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev warned that any foreign invention in Syria which takes place outside a UN Security Council mandate would be a violation of the UN Charter and a criminal action,according to FNA.
“Russia has never supported military solutions where issues can be resolved by other means. In other words, we believe any kind of foreign meddling is unacceptable and criminal,” Medvedev said during a meeting with the members of the Oceania-Asia News Agencies (OANA) in Moscow on Friday.
“On the very same basis, speaking of strike on Syria is unacceptable,” he reiterated.
Medvedev further underlined that “the Syrian people should resolve their problems by themselves and through talks and legal trends”.
Asked by an OANA member to comment on the support extended by certain regional states to terrorism in Syria, the Russian prime minister said, “I believe it is important for every country to realize its responsibility with regard to developments in its neighboring region. Yet, the Russian government believes that this should not be used as a pretext for intervention in the other countries’ domestic affairs.”
