Russia Condemns "Israeli" Attack on Syria

Local Editor

Russia said Thursday that it would condemn the "Israeli" attack on Syria if the information proved true.

In this context, the Russian foreign ministry said it was "deeply concerned by Syrian claims its military research center had come under "Israeli" fighter jet attack and other reports of bombs being dropped on a convoy near the Lebanese border."
"If this information is confirmed, then we are dealing with unprovoked strikes against targets located on the territory of a sovereign state, which brazenly infringes on the UN Charter and is unacceptable, no matter the motive used for its justification," said a ministry statement.

In parallel, Russia added that it was taking "urgent measures" to clarify the situation.

"We once again call on the end to all violence in Syria, underscoring the inadmissibility of any type of intervention from abroad, and the start of inter-Syrian dialogue based on the Geneva agreements of June 30, 2012," the Russian statement said.
Moscow has for its part repeatedly expressed concern at foreign intervention in a country that is its last major ally in the Middle East.
