The West’s policy of dividing terrorists in Syria into “the bad” and “the not so bad” is dangerous, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said.
“Our colleagues at the UN Security Council refuse to condemn terrorist attacks,” he said in an interview with the RT television network.
“They say terrorism is bad but at the same time urge us to take into account the Syrian situation and the reason people are attacking government forces,” Lavrov said.
“Our Western colleagues have started dividing terrorists into ‘bad’ and ‘acceptable’. That is very dangerous.”

“Russia does not change regimes in the world, therefore, it will not convey the western proposals to Syria as they should be the ones to do so by themselves,” underscored Lavrov.
He warned that the west is interested in changing the regime more than saving the lives of civilians.
“it is not allowed for the Security Council, after the shameful act of our partners regarding the decision on Libya, to take decisions that have double meanings, “Concluded Lavrov.
