Moscow will support any agreement on Syria’s state system - Lavrov

MOSCOW, March 14. /TASS/. Moscow is ready to support any agreement on Syria’s state system to be reached between the government and all the opposition groups, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Monday. "We’ll support any agreement that will be reached between the Syrian government and the full range of opposition groups on Syria’s future state system," Lavrov said. "We have never tried to decide anything for the Syrian people, such attempts have been made by our colleagues, but not by us," the minister said. "Only the Syrian people will decide Syria’s destiny. This means that any form of government, whatever it is called - federalization, a unitary state, should be the subject of an agreement between all Syrians," Lavrov said. The minister added that this position follows from the agreements of the International Syria Support Group (ISSG) that have been approved by the UN Security Council. Read more
