MOSCOW-The top Russian and US diplomats, Sergey Lavrov and John Kerry, on Friday discussed in a phone call concrete steps towards settlement in Syria, TASS reported.
Lavrov stressed the necessity to invigorate efforts against terrorist and other extremist groups “operating ever more imprudently, which entails more casualties among civilians in Syria, including as a result of the use of chemical poisonous substances by militants,” the Russian Foreign Ministry said.
The conversation was initiated by the US side.
The Security Council adopted several resolutions on draying up terrorists’ financial resources and stopping the arming of terrorist groups. It held the countries which gave a blind eye to the terrorists’ activities responsible for the expansion of terrorism, but Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Turkey didn’t comply with the resolutions, rather they continued to provide support for the terrorists depending on the international political cover provided to them by Washington, Paris and London at the Security Council.
