FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov says the West incites armed groups in Syria, insisting that Russia will reject any anti-Damascus UN resolution.
“Instead of calming the opposition down, some of our partners are inciting it to go on,” Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov was quoted as saying by the RIA Novosti news agency on Wednesday.
The official further added that backing the Syrian opposition “is a dead-end policy.”
This is while the UN Security Council is set to vote on a resolution on Wednesday which calls for imposing sanctions against Damascus.
Lavrov argued that a Western-backed resolution on the crisis-hit state, which paves the way for a military intervention, “would amount to direct support” for the armed groups.
Russia has repeatedly said that it opposes any military intervention in Syria, highlighting that it vetoes any resolution on Damascus which allows the use of force in the country.
Instead, Moscow has drafted its own resolution that calls for all sides to stick to the UN-Arab League envoy Kofi Annan’s six-point peace plan to end the unrest in Syria.
In April, Annan suggested a plan to put an end to the 16-month-long violence in Syria and set up a transition government acceptable to all sides. However, the armed groups in the country violated the plan.
Syria has been the scene of deadly unrest since mid-March, 2011 and many people, including large numbers of army and security personnel, have been killed in the violence.
The West and the Syrian opposition accuse the government of killing protesters. But Damascus blames ”outlaws, saboteurs and armed terrorist groups” for the unrest, insisting that it is being orchestrated from abroad.
