Rome meeting encourages extremism – Russian Foreign Ministry

Russian Foreign Ministry’s Alexander Lukashevich has lashed out at what so-called the “Friends of Syria” summit in Rome, saying it encouraged extremism in the country.

The US and its Western allies, as well as some Arab countries met in Italy on February 28 to discuss the situation in Syria.

Mr. Lukashevich stressed the world at large has agreed that the crisis in Syria can’t be resolved by force. Meanwhile, the statements and decisions voiced on Thursday seemed to be supporting extremists in their bid to topple the Syrian government  , despite the suffering of the Syrian people, according to Voice of Russia.
