The statement stressed that the stance taken by the Russian representative at the UN matches the vision of the Russian leadership which calls for reaching an internal solution to the crisis in Syria through internal and productive dialogue after all sides halt violence.
The statement stressed that all the scenarios presented by some Arab and western countries totally contradicted function as they anticipate the outcome of the political process in Syria and warn one side only, in addition to considering the political regime change as essential to settle the crisis in Syria.
