Russia: Statement by Australia, Luxembourg on Situation in Homs Unbalanced

World

UNITED NATIONS- Russia believes that the western countries-backed draft statement by the UN Security Council regarding the situation in Homs is unbalanced and regrets that its proposals for amending it have been utterly ignored, Russia’s mission at the UN told Itar-Tass on Friday.

Australia and Luxembourg this week suggested the Security Council should issue a special statement for the press to voice concern over the situation in Homs. Russia said the statement should be rephrased to include a mention of the situations in Noble and Al Zahra, where local residents have had to live in the conditions of a blockade by the group Jabhat al-Nusra and other terrorist al-Qaeda-related factions for eight months.

“We regret that our specific proposals regarding the draft statement for the press proposed by Australia and Luxembourg were utterly ignored. Moreover, the text circulated yesterday is even more imbalanced. It is based on double standards and has nothing to do with humanitarian issues,” the Russian mission at the UN said.
