Moscow – Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov affirmed on Tuesday that the threats launched by the US-led coalition over Syrian army’s advance on al-Tanf area in the Syrian Badia (desert) directly affect the sovereignty of the Syrian Arab Republic, stressing that these issues need to be resolved, SANA reported.

“As you know, there were not only threats, but also the fact of the specific use of force in that area. I think that this situation is very alarming, as it directly affects the sovereignty of the Syrian Arab Republic. Of course, these issues require settlement, which is what our military is currently engaged in,” Lavrov said in a press conference with his Nigerian counterpart Geoffrey Onyeama.

“The work is ongoing within the framework of the channel which was created earlier to prevent unintentional incidents between the Russian Aerospace Forces and the US-led coalition. Everything would be resolved much more effectively if the United States agreed to join the work to coordinate the parameters of the de-escalation zones via this channel which is rather limited in its agenda,” Lavrov added.
