MOSCOW ,(ST)- Russia’s Foreign Ministry on Friday denied that a top diplomat said the Syrian government is losing control over an increasing part of the country, a statement that had been interpreted as signalling a shift in Russia’s assessment of the situation.
The Russian foreign ministry on Friday insisted in a statement that Bogdanov “has not made any statements or special interviews recently” on Syria but was simply citing the stance of the Syrian opposition while giving a speech.
