Opposition’s terrorist acts in Syria must be condemned by int’l community – Russian Foreign Ministry

The actions of the irreconcilable opposition against the Syrian civilian population must be resolutely condemned by all the members of the international community, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Alexander Lukashevich has said in a commentary posted on the ministry’s website, according to Voice of Russia, Interfax

“We believe that the actions of the irreconcilable opposition who commit terrorist attacks and other crimes against Syrian civilians must be resolutely and unreservedly condemned by all members of the international community, as well as the participants of the intra-Syrian negotiating process in Geneva,” Lukashevich said.

Besides, the Ministry’s spokesman added that Moscow is satisfied with the agreements to extend the truce in the old part of the city of Homs by three days.

“It was with satisfaction that Moscow learnt a report about a three-day extension of the humanitarian truce in the old part of the city of Homs.Thanks to the ceasefire, over 800 people, mainly old people, women and children, have already managed to leave the area. Residents were supplied with additional food rations,” he wrote.

“Against this background ‘international terrorist’ “militants” in Syria have been making desperate attempts to disrupt the reconciliation process locally and to provoke violence escalation through bloodshed and inhumane crimes. Several dozen residents of the village of Maan in the Hama province were killed with particular cynicism and cruelty, and the footage of their public execution was put out on the Internet. Also in the same line is a brazen demand by Jabhat al-Nusra” militants” to swap 12 nuns seized by them at the Ma’loula convent,” the commentary said.
