Syria rebel threats against Geneva 2 outrageous, situation around talks requires interference - Lavrov
Threats by powerful rebel groups in Syria against Russia and other states favoring political settlement of Syrian conflict are outrageous, said Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Monday. ● In this case the threats are directed at those who "will dare to go to the Geneva conference proposed by Russia and the United States with the support of the entire world community," he said. Not so long ago threats were addressed to countries favoring a search for a political settlement and those that confront attempts "to use outside force for the settlement," he said. Lavrov has called on those who have influence on the Syrian opposition to intervene in the situation with regard to convening the Geneva II conference.
