Russian State Dumaa Deputy Chairman Pyotr Tolstoy confirmed that President Bashar al-Assad’s recent visit to Moscow and his talks with President Vladimir Putin showed the depth of the participatory relations between Damascus and Moscow.
Tolstoy said in an interview with SANA correspondent in Moscow today: “With the efforts of the Syrian government and Russia’s help, the situation in Syria has been stabilized,” stressing that cooperation between the two countries will continue and develop later, and any attempts to destabilize the country and undermine the strength of the existing friendship between the two people will be shattered thanks to this cooperation.
Tolstoy added: “The Americans always and everywhere use terrorist organizations that they themselves create, as they did in Afghanistan previously and they are doing today in Syria, and this is their policy based on the fact that the end justifies the means.”
In turn, the head of the Committee of the Commonwealth of Independent States in the Duma, Leonid Kalashnikov, announced his support for the statement issued by the Syrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates on the so-called “Brussels Conference for donors to support those affected by the earthquake” without consulting the Syrian side.
Kalashnikov said in a similar interview today: “The collective West, led by the United States, is accustomed to politicizing everything that serves its interests, regardless of the rules of international, humanitarian, or even moral law.” He added: The West provided hundreds of billions of dollars to Turkey as a result of the earthquake, but at the same time it forgot Syria, the neighboring country that was also affected by the same earthquake and was affected no less than Turkey.
Kalashnikov continued: The fate of those affected by the earthquake disaster and the fate of the victims or missing has no consideration for the West.
