Olga Denisova: Russia, BRICS and Non-Aligned Blame West For Syrian Terrorism!

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov: "To a great extent the ongoing violence in Syria should be blamed on the countries that incite anti Assad forces to deny a ceasefire and seek a change of regime. Actually, this approach hardly differs from the principles of terrorism applied by the armed opposition groups." The Russian delegation pointed out that no resolution was required for starting a dialogue on the basis of the principles of the Geneva Communique. Russia's partners in BRICS share this opinion. Among five BRICS member states adopted a joint resolution at the UN General Assembly session. Refusal to apply the Geneva agreements on Syria reached on June 30, 2012 puts at risk the implementation of the key principles outlined by the UN Security Council in the fight against terror. The participants in a high level UNSC meeting on the Middle East on Wednesday voiced different approaches to the situation in Syria. The Syrian crisis has remained the thorniest Middle Eastern issue for more than a year. Meanwhile, all major UNSC member states has expressed their views on the situation before the UN General Assembly session opened in New York on Tuesday. US leader Barack Obama again stressed that peace will come to Syria only after President Bashar Assad resigns. French President Francois Hollande urged the UN to take active steps in Syria and protect the areas controlled by the opposition. Not only Syrians have found themselves directly or indirectly involved in the conflict. Only a consolidated approach can result help in finding the right solution, Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said.
