Russia says ‘some foreign countries’ are trying to exacerbate the situation in Syria to make pretext for their interference in the Middle Eastern country’s internal affairs.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov made the remarks on Thursday after a Russia-EU Permanent Partnership Council (PPC) meeting in Moscow, Syria’s state news agency, SANA, reported.
Detailing the anti-Damascus push, Lavrov said, “Some opposition representatives, with support from some foreign countries, [could] declare that dialogue can begin only after the regime goes.”
Syria has been experiencing unrest ever since mid-March, with demonstrations being held both against and in support of Assad’s government.
