Moscow-Sana
The spokeswoman for the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, stressed today the need to strengthen joint international efforts to reach a solution to the crisis in Syria and to stop attempts to disrupt these efforts through empty political statements.
Russian news agency TASS quoted Zakharova as saying in a statement in response to new hostile statements made by the named US special envoy to Syria Joel Rayburn, in which he claimed that “Syria and Russia are trying to complicate counterterrorism operations” .. “This is not the first time that such accusations are directed at the two armies. The Syrian and Russian campaign is part of the brutal campaign launched by the United States and its allies by repeatedly copying attacks and fabricated news in this direction.
Zakharova noted that “enhancing the positive dynamism in the development of the situation in Syria on the ground” raises anxiety among those who insist on their hostile policies against Syria.
Zakharova called on Russia's regional and international partners to enhance joint efforts on finding a solution to the crisis in Syria in accordance with UN Security Council Resolution 2254, instead of sabotaging these efforts and making empty political statements and baseless accusations.
Zakharova expressed Moscow's readiness for dialogue on the crisis in Syria with all concerned parties, including the United States, especially with regard to combating terrorism, indicating that her country is also open to any initiatives aimed at building relationships between the relevant agencies.
Zakharova noted that the terrorists' provocations in Idlib are still continuing, stressing that the fight against terrorism in Syria will continue until the terrorists are completely eliminated.
