In her weekly press conference, Zakharova said that Russia in cooperation with the Syrian side has repeatedly introduced humanitarian pauses in Aleppo to help civilians, but the militants used the truce to regroup and replenish their arms and ammunition.
She expressed Moscow’s readiness to work with international humanitarian organizations in delivering humanitarian aid to the affected people in Syria.
“We strongly believe that humanitarian issues should not become a tool for political pressure or serve as means of flirting with terrorists or shielding them,” she added.
Responding to a question about US promises to send humanitarian aid to eastern Aleppo, Zakharova affirmed that there are contradictions between the statements of the Americans and their actions, pointing out that the US gave many promises about striking the terrorists of Jabhat al-Nusra, separating them from what they called “moderate opposition,” and cooperating with Russia in this regard, but the facts prove that the Americans’ promises are one thing while their actions are another.......http://sana.sy/en/?p=94876

Remarks by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan about Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad will be a topic of discussion during the upcoming visit of Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov to Turkey, TASS reported Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov as saying on Wednesday.
ReplyDelete"That will be a good topic to clarify the intentions," he said answering a question from a TASS correspondent.
Maria Zakharova, spokeswoman for Russia's Foreign Ministry, said on Wednesday that Erdogan's words on removing Assad were uttered "off the record."
"We studied the matter yesterday. The quote caused a great stir," Zakharova said. "We tried to understand whether it was quoted as it had been said. It was not a direct quote, but a retelling of what had been said ‘off-the-record’. We rely on the public statements."
