Moscow urges military allies CSTO to support Syria settlement
Sergey Lavrov has told a conference of CSTO Foreign Ministers that the failure to solve the Syrian crisis would have negative consequences not only for security situation in the region, but for the whole system of international law.
The Russian Foreign Minister was speaking at the opening of the session of Collective Security Treaty Organization – the Russia-led bloc uniting six neighboring countries: Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Russia.
In 2014 the rotating presidency of the bloc will be taken by Russia, and because of that Lavrov briefed his colleagues on current priority issues in international relations.
“We are concerned with the situation in Syria and not only because of possible negative consequences to the region as a whole, but also because of the negative consequences to the whole system of international law. You know about the necessity to quickly solve the problem of starting the dialogue, and about the chemical weapons issue. I think, today we can support the international community’s efforts on Syria,” Sergey Lavrov said in his opening speech.
On September 14 the Russian Foreign Minister together with the US State Secretary John Kerry coordinated a plan to secure Syrian chemical weapons by mid-2014, following a suggestion from Russian President Vladimir Putin. However, the differences between Russia and US still remain – Moscow insists that any discrepancies and disputes are solved through consultation with the UN Security Council, while the United States suggests that any suspected violations are dealt with by military force.
In addition, the Russian minister again warned his colleagues about possible aggravation of the military-political situation in the Central Asian region in connection with the planned withdrawal of coalition forces from Afghanistan.
Afghanistan has observer status with the CSTO and member Tajikistan borders this country.
The participants of the session then went on to discuss the plan of military cooperation between the CSTO nations up to 2020 as well as deployment of peacekeeping forces from the bloc and forming a collective security system.

Assad: Pengganas boleh
menyerang pemeriksa senjata kimia, menyalahkan Damsyik . . .

SitiWanMahani - Assad: Pengganas boleh menyerang pemeriksa senjata kimia, menyalahkan Damsyik. Pembangkang bersenjata Syria yang diperintahkan oleh penaja asing untuk mengadakan operasi bendera palsu terhadap pemeriksa asing apabila mereka tiba di negara ini untuk memantau kemusnahan kimia simpanan senjata di negara ini, kata Presiden Syria.
Bashar Assad menyuarakan kebimbangan beliau dalam satu temu bual oleh kerajaan televisyen CCTV China di Damsyik. Pemimpin Syria mencadangkan senario ini mungkin kerana beliau menjelaskan bagaimana kerajaan boleh dituduh cuba untuk mengelakkan kewajipan untuk memusnahkan senjata kimia.
“Kita tahu bahawa pengganas yang mentaati perintah negara-negara lain dan negara-negara melakukan memandu pengganas untuk melakukan perbuatan yang boleh mendapatkan kerajaan Syria dipersalahkan kerana menghalang perjanjian ini,” jelas beliau.
Rusia menaja perjanjian dengan Syria untuk melupuskan stok daripada senjata kimia di tengah-tengah ancaman Amerika Syarikat untuk menggunakan kuasa tentera menentang tentera Syria ke atas penggunaan dakwaan sarin gas, yang mengorbankan kira-kira 1,400 orang pada bulan Ogos.
Moscow menjangka Pertubuhan bagi Larangan Senjata Kimia (OPCW), yang menerima inventori terperinci senjata Syria minggu lepas, untuk menyediakan tarikh akhir untuk operasi. Ia juga merancang untuk bekerjasama dengan ahli-ahli Majlis Keselamatan PBB pada resolusi, yang akan menyokong pelan OPCW dan mengadakan peruntukan bagi keselamatan pemeriksa, yang akan mengawal pelucutan senjata.
Tetapi Washington, London dan Paris berkeras resolusi UNSC yang akan melibatkan langkah-langkah punitif terhadap Damsyik untuk mana-mana mungkin menghalang operasi di bawah Piagam Bab 7 PBB. Bab 7 membolehkan penguatkuasaan resolusi Majlis Keselamatan dengan tindakan ketenteraan. Rusia menentang peruntukan tersebut.
Assad: Terrorists may attack chemical weapons inspectors,
blame Damascus . . .
Syrian armed opposition may be ordered by its foreign sponsors to stage a false flag operation against foreign inspectors when they arrive in the country to monitor destruction of the country’s chemical weapons stockpile, says the Syrian president.
Bashar Assad voiced his concerns in an interview by China's state television CCTV in Damascus. The Syrian leader proposed this possible scenario as he was explaining how his government may be accused of trying to dodge its obligations to destroy its chemical arsenal.
“We know that these terrorists are obeying the orders of other countries and these countries do drive these terrorists to commit acts that could get the Syrian government blamed for hindering this agreement,” he explained.
Russia brokered an agreement with Syria to dispose of its stockpile of chemical weapons amid US threats to use military force against Syrian army over alleged use of sarin gas, which killed an estimated 1,400 people in August.
Moscow expects the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), which received detailed inventory of the Syrian arsenal last week, to prepare a deadline for the operation. It also plans to work with other members of the UN Security Council on a resolution, which would support the OPCW plan and provide for security of the inspectors, who would control the disarmament.
But Washington, London and Paris are insisting on a UNSC resolution which would involve punitive measures against Damascus for any possible hindering of the operation under Chapter 7 of the UN Charter. Chapter 7 allows for the enforcement of Security Council resolutions with military action. Russia opposes such provisions.

Bercakap pada perbahasan UNSC, Assad berkata tiga kuasa-kuasa Barat berjuang sebagai ‘musuh khayalan.
“Dengan menghantar draf kepada Majlis Keselamatan PBB, atau menggesa Amerika Syarikat dan Rusia bersetuju dengan perjanjian, Amerika Syarikat, Perancis dan Britain hanya cuba untuk menjadikan diri mereka pemenang dalam perang terhadap Syria yang merupakan musuh khayalan mereka, “katanya.
Presiden itu berkata beliau yakin bahawa Rusia dan China akan “memastikan apa-apa alasan untuk tindakan ketenteraan terhadap Syria tidak dapat ditegakkan.”
Ditanya untuk maklumat lanjut mengenai simpanan senjata kimia, Assad berkata, “Syria pembuatan senjata kimia telah selama beberapa dekad jadi ia biasa untuk di sana untuk menjadi jumlah yang terbesar di negara ini.”
Senjata WMD telah diwujudkan kerana konfrontasi Syria dengan Israel, katapemimpin Syria.
“Kami adalah sebuah negara yang berperang, kami mempunyai wilayah yang telah diduduki selama lebih daripada 40 tahun, tetapi dalam mana-mana, tentera Syria dilatih untuk berjuang menggunakan senjata konvensional,” Assad terjamin.
Sambil mengakui bahawa keadaan keselamatan Syria adalah jauh dari sempurna untuk kerja-kerja pemeriksa OPCW, Assad berkata senjata adalah selamat daripada diambil oleh mana-mana pihak.
lanya disimpan “di bawah syarat-syarat khas untuk menghalang mana-mana pengganas untuk angkatan pemusnah lain daripada mengganggu dengan mereka, iaitu, kuasa pemusnah yang boleh datang dari negara-negara lain,” katanya.
“Jadi, tiada apa yang perlu dibimbangkan. Senjata-senjata kimia di Syria berada di tempat yang selamat dgn selamat dan di bawah kawalan tentera Syria.”
Terdahulu China berkata ia bersedia untuk menghantar pakar-pakar untuk menyumbang kepada misi OPCW untuk memusnahkan senjata kimia di Syria. Rusia berjanji bantuan, yang mungkin akan melibatkan mendapatkan lokasi di mana stok akan diproses.
Speaking on the UNSC debate, Assad said the three Western powers are fighting an ‘imaginary enemy’.
“By submitting the draft to the UN Security Council, or by urging the US and Russia to agree on a deal, the US, France, and Britain are just trying to make themselves winners in a war against a Syria which is their imaginary enemy," he said.
The president said he was assured that Russia and China would "ensure any excuse for military action against Syria will not stand."
Asked for details on the stockpile of chemical weapons, Assad said, “Syria has been manufacturing chemical weapons for decades so it's normal for there to be large quantities in the country.”
The WMD arsenal was created due to Syria’s confrontation with Israel, the Syrian leader said.
"We are a nation at war, we've got territories that have been occupied for more than 40 years, but in any case, the Syrian army is trained to fight using conventional weapons," Assad assured.
While admitting that the security situation is Syria is far from perfect for the work of OPCW inspectors, Assad said the weapons are safe from being captured by any party.
They are stored “under special conditions to prevent any terrorist for other destructive forces from tampering with them, that is, destructive forces that could come from other countries,” he said.
"So there is nothing to worry about. The chemical weapons in Syria are in a safe place that is secure and under the control of the Syrian army."
Earlier China said it is willing to send experts to contribute to the OPCW’s mission to destroy Syria’s chemical weapons. Russia pledged its assistance, which would probably involve securing locations where the stockpile would be processed.
