Russian MoD Strikes Back at NATO over Claims of Fueling Tension in Syria

World

The Russian Defense Ministry has blamed NATO countries for plunging Syria and the Entire Middle East into chaos.

Defense Ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov dismissed as ‘stupid’ a recent statement by NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg who said that Russia’s air strikes in Syria targeting terrorists were “undermining” efforts to find a non-military solution to the crisis, Sputnik news reported on Sunday.

Maj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov said that it was the “NATO countries’ reckless action, which plunged the Middle Eastern region into chaos,” not the Russian military operation, that actually brought about the current crisis in Syria.

“It is Russia’s aerial campaign of the past few months that helped the Syrians realize that they can fight on and destroy the international terrorists in their country,” he said.

General Konashenkov added that before Russia launched its aerial campaign in Syria, NATO countries had spent almost three years imitating a fight against international terrorism.

“No one in the West then talked about a negotiated settlement in Syria. All they did was fixing the date of the country’s final breakup like in Libya where the NATO countries felt so free to establish Western-style democracy,” Igor Konashenkov said in conclusion.
