SitiWanMahani - Rusia dgn baik menyokong memandangkan tindakan ketenteraan di Syria akan mencetuskan keganasan berleluasa - Lavrov. Lebih banyak dan lebih banyak negara berkongsi kepercayaan Rusia bahawa tindakan ketenteraan di Syria hanya akan membolehkan keganasan, menurut Menteri Luar Sergey Lavrov. Beliau berkata demikian pada sidang akhbar bersama-sama dengan rakan beliau sejawatannya dari Syria.

Lavrov berkata bahawa Moscow menyokong sepenuhnya panggilan oleh Majlis Keselamatan PBB untuk membawa pakar-pakar kimia kembali ke Syria untuk menyelesaikan misi mereka. Beliau juga menekankan bahawa Damsyik telah memberi reaksi positif kepada Moscow menggesa pembangkang dan kerajaan untuk menyatukan usaha mereka dalam membuang pengganas dari Syria.

Kedua-dua negara pasti bahawa penyelesaian politik masih mungkin, kata Menteri Luar, “walaupun keadaan sangat serius”. Rusia FM menekankan bahawa “terdapat lebih daripada bukti yang cukup untuk menyokong dakwaan bahawa pemberontak berada di belakang serangan kimia.”

“Terdapat keterangan Mother Agnes - Mother Superior di sebuah biara di Syria - menunjukkan bahawa urusan keseluruhan dengan senjata kimia adalah operasi frame-up yang diada-adakan,” kata Menteri Luar Syria Walid Muallem.

FM Muallem mempersoalkan operasi, berkata “kita bertanya tentang motivasi Amerika Syarikat untuk melancarkan serangan terhadap kami” dan menekankan bahawa “usaha-usaha diplomatik belum habis.”

Muallem berkata bahawa campur tangan asing akan berlaku pertama sekali akan memberi kesan kepada penduduk Syria yang aman. “Sebagai sejarah menunjukkan, mangsa pertama dalam mana-mana konflik ketenteraan adalah wanita dan kanak-kanak," kata FM.

Muallem melahirkan kekaguman dengan sebahagian besar orang awam Amerika untuk menyuarakan perbezaan pendapat secara terang-terangan mereka dengan serangan yang dicadangkan. Beliau juga memuji pentadbiran Rusia untuk melakukan segala-galanya dalam kuasanya untuk “Menghalang perbuatan pencerobohan.”

Beliau menambah bahawa pihak Syria “memegang memandang tinggi kedudukan yang tidak berbelah Presiden Rusia Vladimir Putin.”

Russia well-supported in view that military action in Syria 

will provoke rampant terrorism - Lavrov

More and more states share Russia's belief that military action in Syria will only enable terrorism, according to Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. He was speaking at a press conference along with his Syrian counterpart

Lavrov said that Moscow fully supports calls by the UN Security Council to bring chemical experts back to Syria to complete their mission. He also emphasised that Damascus has reacted positively to Moscow’s urging for  the opposition and the government to unite their efforts in expelling terrorists from Syria.

Both countries are certain that a political settlement is still possible, said the foreign minister, “although the situation is very serious”.  The Russian FM stressed that “there is more than enough evidence to support the claim that the rebels are behind the chemical attack.”

“There is the testimony of Mother Agnes – a Mother Superior at a monastery in Syria - suggesting that the whole affair with the chemical weapons was a staged frame-up operation,” Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Muallem said.

FM Muallem questioned the operation, saying “we ask about the motivation of US to launch a strike against us" and emphasizing that "diplomatic efforts have not been exhausted.”

Muallem said that the impending foreign intervention will first and foremost affect the peaceful Syrian population. “As history shows, the first victims in any military conflict are women and children”, the FM said.

Muallem expressed his admiration with a large portion of the American public for voicing their outright disagreement with the proposed strike.  He also praised the Russian administration for doing everything in its power to "prevent an act of aggression." 

He added that the Syrian side “holds in high regard the unflinching position of Russia’s President Vladimir Putin.”
