Russia: US Should Coordinate Airstrikes with Syria

Local Editor

Russia believes US-led air strikes against extremists in Syria should be carried out in coordination with Syrian authorities and in accordance with international law, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Friday.


Lavrov was speaking after the United States recently this week carried out airstrikes against the so-called "Daesh" [ISIL] extremist group in Iraq to Syria with the support of five Arab countries.

"We believe that any action taken globally, including use of force, to overcome terrorist threats should be done in accordance with international law," he told reporters at the United Nations.

"Excluding Syrian authorities from the struggle that is taking place... not only goes against international law but undermines efficiency," he added.
