US strike on Syria to be another nail in coffin of international law – Peskov

American military intervention in Syria will lead to total destabilization of government and what most important will be another nail in the coffin of international law, said Russian President’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov on the sidelines of G20 in St. Petersburg,according to Voice of Russia.

Kremlin would appreciate US Congress to take in account every single argument before making a final decision on Syria, said Peskov. He has no doubt that Vladimir Putin and Barack Obama will express their opinion on Syria during the G20 summit.

“Putin will take advantage of the excellent opportunity to present his – and Russia’s – opinion on the situation in Syria. Especially considering the fact that the situation in the camp of supporters of the strike on Syria is controversial now. We cannot say that the idea of a military operation was supported by many countries,” he said.

According to him, the idea of a military operation has not found broad support even among the permanent allies of the United States, because the international community has already had a bitter experience of such operations.

“They never led to stability and prosperity, only brought suffering to people. And today we all have to deal with unfortunate consequences of those operations in the form of continuing instability in the countries, which were subjected to them,” the Press Secretary of the President said.
