Russian Airstrikes to Target Armed Groups That Don’t Dissociate Themselves from “Jabhat al-Nusra” before Deadline
MOSCOW, (ST)-The deadline given by Russia to armed groups in Syria as to dissociate themselves from “Jabhat al-Nusra” terrorist organization ends this week, Russian Foreign Minister said on Tuesday.
Interview by the Russian “Komsomolskaya Pravda” website, Lavrov stressed that the Russian airstrikes will target the armed groups that don’t dissociate themselves from al-Nusra before the set deadline.
The Russian minister renewed call on the United States to carry out joint airstrikes with Russia against the groups which refuse to join the cessation of hostilities agreement.
He pointed out that the delay in fixing a date for the next round of intra-Syrian talks in Geneva was caused by the behavior of the “Riyadh-backed Syrian opposition” delegation.
Lavrov ruled out the eruption of a third world war because the world countries still remember the horrors of the World War II.
