Russia totally opposes any foreign aggression against Syria ,says Zasypkin

BEIRUT, (ST) – “Russia absolutely  rejects the current plots  against Syria under the pretext of using chemical weapons,”said Russia’s Ambassador in Lebanon Alexander Zasypkin.

Zasypkin’s remark was made during  an interview with the Lebanese al-Manar TV.

“just “accusations ” ,no evidences concerning the use of chemical weapons. So, talking about this matter aims only to create pretexts to intervene in Syria and exactly to repeat the same scenario in Iraq, “underscored Zasypkin.

” because of the Russian and the Chinese vetoes at the Security Council ,the US cannot intervene in Syria. However, that intervention from outside the Security Council “would put the US in front of a great responsibility it might not be able to afford its consequences, “added Zasypkin.

In this regard,the Russian diplomat  called for respecting the international legitimacy, adding that the international community should work on solving the crisis not complicating it.

“Providing terrorists with weapons and money hinder any political solution to the crisis in Syria…If support to terrorism continues, the threat would escalate soon and reach all.”So,I call upon all sides in Syria to put an end to violence as soon as possible,”affirmed Zasypkin.

“Russia totally opposes  any foreign aggression against Syria ,”he concluded.
