"We believe that nobody has the right to decide for other nations who should be in power and who should not," Putin told reporters after a G20 summit in the Mexican beach resort of Los Cabos.
"It is not changing the regime that is important, but that after changing the regime, which should be done constitutionally, violence is stopped and peace comes to the country," he said.
Putin said all sides should sit down and work things out beforehand.
As he affirmed his country’s opposing to international interference in Syria, the Russian leader criticized what has been coming on in Libya following the interference by NATO air forces.
"Unlike in some North African countries where violence goes on even after regime change," Putin said.
Putin's forthright remarks came the day after he joined US President Barack Obama in calling for an "immediate" end to the Syria conflict.
"In order to stop the bloodshed in Syria, we call for an immediate cessation of all violence," the two leaders said in a statement after meeting on the sidelines of the Group of 20 summit of the world's leading economies.
