Russia insists on being against use of force against Syria

MOSCOW (A.A) - Gennadiy Gatilov, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Russia, has said Moscow administration would continue to be against use of force against Syria. Speaking on "Russia Today", the Tv channel broadcasting in English, Gatilov said, "We believe domestic problems in Syria can't be solved by use of force. It can be possible only by the way of negotiations that involve all parties." Weapons were being smuggled into Syria from the Lebanese borders, causing a great concern, Gatilov said, "We believe that it is going to cause more stress and chaos in Syria as civil war continues. This has to be stopped if we want any solution." International conference named 'Friends of Syria', which is going to be held in Tunisia, is not going to give positive outcome unless it covers all the conflicted parties, said Gatilov and continued, "We think it would be a mistake if any legislation is put to vote without any consultation with key parties."  Asked about possibility of resumption of negotiations between Iran and International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Gatilov said, "We do not think the dialogue between Iran and IAEA has ended. There is still a chance for diplomatic solution to Tehran's nuclear problem."
