Moscow-Sana
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov reiterated his country's rejection and condemnation of the unilateral coercive US measures imposed on Syria, explaining that the so-called “Caesar Act” and other Western measures against Syria have primarily harmed the Syrian citizens, contrary to what the West claims.
Lavrov said in an interview with Sputnik today that "Russia will not stop condemning the American and Western measures against Syria," noting that the United Nations adopts special decisions declaring that unilateral sanctions are "illegal and unlawful", and stresses the need to respect the sanctions imposed by the Council International security only.
In response to the defense of the West’s delegates to the Security Council during the session the day before yesterday with enthusiasm and arrogance about imposing unilateral coercive measures against Syria, Lavrov said, “The sanctions provide for humanitarian exemptions that include the delivery of medicines, food and other essential materials .. All this is incorrect because no supplies have been delivered. Of those countries that announced the imposition of sanctions.
Lavrov noted that in recent days, the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres, has renewed his appeal that he made months ago to countries that adopted unilateral measures against any "developing country" to stop these measures at least in the period of combating the outbreak of the Corona virus and said that "Western countries are still deaf. About such appeals despite the fact that the vast majority of member states of the United Nations supported them.
Syria's permanent representative to the United Nations, Dr. Bashar al-Jaafari, confirmed during a session of the Security Council the day before yesterday via video about the humanitarian situation in Syria that Western countries that impose coercive economic measures on Syria will not be able to cover up the effects of its economic terrorism against the Syrian people.
