Alwaght – The Russian Foreign Minister, Sergei Lavrov says his country has helped the legitimate government of Syria to prevent the disintegration of the country.
Speaking at the UN General Assembly on Friday he stressed the need for preventing the foreign backed militancy in Syria from driving the country into catastrophe.
The Russian diplomat warned about a possible “destruction of the foundations of global stability” because of the current approach in Syria, if the global community does not learn from the past crisis.
“The arrogance and self-righteousness in pushing through unilateral, adventurous solutions to complex conflicts is visible in the examples of the bleeding regions of the Middle East and North Africa,” he said
“Largely due to Russian military assistance, provided to the legitimate Syrian government in response to its request, it was possible to prevent the collapse of statehood and disintegration of Syria,” he added.
The Russian Minister also referred to the recent ceasefire brokered by him and his US counterpart as a possible solution for the ongoing violence in Syria and called on the influential parties to help salvage the process.
"The main thing now is to prevent the collapse of those arrangements [between Russia and the US], objectively and impartially investigate the undermining incidents in Dayr al-Zawr and Aleppo particularly," he said, adding, there are many who want "to sabotage the agreed approaches" to the Syrian crisis.
He said Moscow needs to be assured that Washington and its allies can control the militant groups in Syria so that a recently ended ceasefire could be revived.
