Russia Vows to Fulfill Syria S-300 Missiles Deal

International

TEHRAN – Russia reiterated that it will honor its contract to deliver S-300 air defense missile systems to Syria,according to FNA.

“We respect all our contracts and are honoring all our contractual obligations,” Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said in a Thursday interview with state-run Russia 24 TV.

“As yet, the contracts are not finished, they have not been delivered in full,” he added.

Russia last month acknowledged it has agreed to sell Syria advanced S-300 air-defense missiles, which are considered to be the cutting edge in aircraft interception technology.

Russia has stood by Syrian government during the two-year “conflict”, blocking several UN resolutions against the country.

Lavrov said that Russia would block all demands for the Syrian government’s resignation at a planned peace conference to be held in Geneva, Alalam reported.

Lavrov renewed Russia’s objections to a potential no-fly zone in Syria, which the S-300 systems would make extremely difficult to implement, and said the western plans to arm the “opposition” would see most weapons fall into the hands of al-Nusra Front, an Al-Qaeda affiliate .
