Lavrov's call will fall in deaf ears, just like before, in no time...
US-led coalition must prove it really wants to separate Al-Nusra Front from rebels – Lavrov
RT: 24 Sep, 2016
Russia will “no longer take seriously" requests that its own or Syrian forces make unilateral concessions regarding the ceasefire, without the Western coalition providing proof it's trying to separate moderates from terrorists, the foreign minister said.
In an extensive interview with Russia TV’s Vesti v Subbotu (News on Saturday), Sergey Lavrov reiterated that “the revival of the ceasefire is possible exclusively on collective basis.” If the US and its coalition partners fail to provide credible proof that they have “a sincere intention” to dissociate terrorists from the so-called moderate opposition “our suspicions that this all is being done to take the heat off Al-Nusra Front will strengthen.”
The events of the past few days, however, showed the reverse trend, as more rebel groups started merging with Al-Nusra Front, Lavrov said, citing a statement from Russia’s General Staff.
One of such radical groups close to Al-Nusra Front is Ahrar Al-Sham, which refused to adhere to the Russia-US agreement as the deal targets its ally, Lavrov said. Russia has been demanding it be designated terrorist for a long time, to little effect.
“If everything again boils down to asking Russia’s and Syria’s Air Forces to take unilateral steps – such as, ‘Give us another three- or four-day pause and after that we will persuade all opposition groups that this is serious and that they must cut ties with Al-Nusra Front’ - such talk will not be taken seriously by us anymore," the Russian FM said.
He noted that previous US-Russia-brokered short-term ceasefires around Aleppo did not live up to expectations and proved detrimental to peace efforts, as the 48-hour and 72-hour temporary truces were “used to back up the jihadists, including, Al-Nusra Front fighters, with manpower, food and weapons supplies.”
For its part, Russia has been open about its work with the Syrian government to ensure its compliance with the US-Russia brokered Geneva deal.
On Monday, it submitted an interview with Lieutenant-General Sergey Rudskoy, chief of the main operations department of the Russian General Staff, to the UN Security Council, in which he outlines the concrete measures Russia made to secure the deal, Lavrov noted.
Speaking about the US airstrike on Syrian armed forces near Deir ez-Zor, that left 62 troops dead and over 100 injured, Lavrov cast doubt on Washington’s assurance that the Syrian government positions were targeted purely by mistake.
It is “very hard to believe that reconnaissance officers of the US-founded coalition that is fighting Islamic State [IS, formerly ISIL/ISIS] on the whole Syrian territory could forget about who is located where,” he said.
“The situation in Deir ez-Zor, contrary to the situation in Aleppo, where the line of contact is constantly changing, has been stable over two years already. The Syrian troops have been besieged by IS there,” he added, calling the circumstances surrounding the attack “a bit strange.”
Lavrov also confirmed that Washington offered its apologies to Syria’s President Bashar Assad via Russia.
The Russian FM has once again denied Russia or Syria’s complicity in the attack on UN-backed Red Crescent convoy in eastern Aleppo on Monday.
Russia had already submitted drone footage and other evidence to the UN as part of the investigation into the incident that resulted in death of 20 civilians and one aid worker.
“Russian aviation was not working there. Syrian aviation could not work there either, as the attack on the convoy occurred at night, and the Syrian Air Force does not fly at that time, they do not have such capacities,” Lavrov stated, citing the Russian Defense Ministry’s statements.
The “easiest way” and “the first necessary step” to determine who is responsible for the atrocity would be to uncover weapons that hit the convoy and present them, he suggested.
At the same time, Lavrov recalled the repeated “direct, open and unambiguous” threats to humanitarian convoys from rebels maintaining control over the Castello road that have on many occasions impeded essential supplies accessing heavily stricken areas of Aleppo.
Selected Readers' Comments:
# The present Syrian tragedy is a direct result of the Evil Empire (The nuclear armed terrorist state of Israel and its servile vassal state of America)'s regime change operation in Syria using as their proxy agents Sunni terrorist groups such as Al-Qaeda, Al-Nusra, ISIL and other diverse groups with which to effect their Israel compliant Syrian regime change operation.
Russia is determined to destroy America's terrorists in Syria as it is possible to drive from Syria to the restive Caucasus in Russia where there are some 20 million Muslims.
If those Russian Muslims became infected by America's Muslim terrorists Russia will have real problems America is shielded from by the Atlantic.
Aleppo's real civilian population could flee and let Russia mow the American supported Sunni terrorist lawn !
# USA goal is overthrowing Dr.Assad.And the separation of the so called moderates from Al Qaeda and ISIS is imposible because there aren't moderates.
# USA will complete their goals thanks to Russia having no guts. There is a difference between being diplomatic, and being a coward but justifying yourself with diplomacy. Russia is the second. Russia plane down, no answer. Ok diplomacy. US officials publicly making fun of Russian people and government, no answer. Okay lets say diplomacy again. But US kills 62 Russian allies, and no answer? Just some mumbling from mouth nothing practical? That is called being bad friend, and having no guts. US will keep up even stronger provocations, since Russia will do nothing. Even if USAF would "accidentally" shot down some sukhoi, Russia willl do nothing.
# US doesn't have to prove anything Mr Lavrov we all know they are arming Isis. Russia has to defeat Isis rather than wasting time on ceasefires.
# Interesting article on Zerohedge regarding evidence that a Hellfire missile from the Predator Drone was the cause of the UN convoy fire. Video footage gives the explosion signature of the US made weapon.
Fact US sponsors terorists
Fact US wants destroy Syria & make It like Libya
Fact US lies through it's teeth for all illegal invasion s & incursions
Fact US can't abide by International Laws
Fact US creates false flags to use as a pretext for Humanitarian help to destroy countries
Fact Russia does not want nor will it let Syria to become another Libya or Iraq while Israel and US do
# Convoy wasn't bombed, just set on fire by US sponsored terrorists.
# The US is waiting for the moment when it looks like the world is sick of this conflict and would not protest if it turned into a direct war between US and Russia. The US has a blood lust and a death wish.
# Obviously the USA does not really want to promote peace in Syria they are still trying to instigate a regime change under the cloak of pretending to help in reality they are using it as a way of causing tension and trying to make Russia as the aggressor.
# The US is not to be trusted. Its Air Force should not be allowed over Syria.
The US = IS !
Until the neocons are thrown out this will not stop - ever.
The border needs to be sealed to prevent oil sale profiteering and weapon replenishment, and any terrorists that refuse to lay down their arms should pay the consequences.
Easier said than done, of course. If US planes get shot down it'll be used as an excuse for all out war.
The US wouldn't win - it'll fall apart from within.
# Millions of American citizens will fight against this our government if it attacks Russia. The fascists in DC will have many wars to fight then, both international and domestic insurgency. We The People can destroy DC and al-Obama's terrorist torture Nazi Jihadi regime. Watch the nightly snooze for the collapse into anarchy. But, TV won't be on long once it starts, or will be taken over by the Nazi al-Obama regime.
# assCarter has an evil agenda
# Just like Jean @ssh0leborn from Luxembourg.
# Okay, it is official now : Al-Qaeda ; Al-Nusra ; Al-Usa.
# well said but the USA/EU regimes like to slaughter, terrorize, demonize human beings and paint other human beings of other races as inferior and primitive. the world must stop these horrific regimes.
# USA/EU regimes are terrorists regimes, stop speaking to them and order them to leave syria or face military actions. we cannot go on with the same thing over and over again. the world want terror called the USA/EU regimes disabled.
# Lavrov knows that:
"rebels" are == Al Nusra, AlQaeda, ISIS, "Moderate" beheaders, "Moderate" rapists, "Moderate" Cannibals...
You can't separate something that is one and the same.
Also, even if there were such a distinction (which there is not) USA has no business arming anyone for its proxy wars and regime change schemes - USA should mind its own business, su-ck my D, and go to Hë ll.
# Russia must remember that ALL the US does is tell LIES. They ARE SUPPORTING the Terrorists, and will say or do ANYTHING to further their Global aims.
# It sounds like Lavrov has finally realised that there is no need to talk to these people. He had too much faith in Western values initially, but thankfully he has finally seen the light. And Iranians have been telling him since day1 not to trust America...
# US and allies are using terrorism as a tool to accupy syria. There is no moderate rebels all are same trained and supported by US and allies.
# I said previously that US is Luc'fers Favourite country ,now i just saw on ruptly the largest sat'nic organization opens headquarters in Salem USA.
# it would seem Russia has now started to play its hand. It has proven the point that the US and its Allies have negotiated in bad faith and they have no intention of a negotiated settlement. It is good to see the US being shown for all the world to see what a conniving snake it is. There is now more of an opportunity being opened for Russia and the Syrian Army to destroy all the terrorist groups with International recognition as the resistance and lies supporting the non existing moderate terrorists agenda loses all credibility by the day. Lavarov has made skilled and intelligent decisions in lifting the veil to expose the truth about the US real agenda. He has now called them out. They cannot deliver. They can only try create a new false flag to distract from their failure to deceive.
# There are no rebels. There are just criminals and psychopaths.
# The Russian Federation has shown incredible patience and willingness to resolve the conflict. However, when the other side does not act in good faith, it is time to call it a day. Well done Mr Lavrov.
# many news outlets in the us an europe eliminated their comments sections lately, they do not want free speech, so now i come to RT.
# Kerry Wants the US and NATO to impose a no fly zone over Syria. That is to say,that the Syrian military could not fly their own jets over their own country, And that the Russians , who are there at the request of the legitimate , elected leadership of Syria could also not fly any more air strikes against the ISIS et al forces. How stupid does Kerry think we are?
General Dunford , addressing the US joint chiefs of staff said that to enforce US and NATO control of the skies over Syria , amounted to a declaration of war.
Obama. Clinton, and Kerry are responsible for creating ,arming, training, and now giving air support to ISIS et al.
These globalist elite are in real danger of loosing the US election to Donald Trump. Looks like they're going to take the world war option. Same old game, Burn it all down and rise out of the ashes. Unfortunately, this time , the stakes are on a Global scale. We are living in very dangerous times. Pray for cooler heads to prevail.
# US joke : Saudi Arabia ask for democracy in Syria.
# Al Jazeera today says a group within the Free Syrian Army has just joined Al Nusra Front. Mr Lavrov, this is why they cannot separate the moderates from the terrorists - they are one and the same.
# Ceasefire seems to be a bad idea and doesn't apply to barbarian, medieval uprisings for no rational reason. Those minds are beyond rescue. Increasing air dropping supply would be a smarter move. Ceasefire is used the terrorists to regroup and replenish arms supply to fool the Russians & Syrian govt. First there is war, then peace, in that order. Thank you and have a good fight.
# Sunnis hate much more shiites than anyone else in the world. "Rebels" want Assad dead not because of democracy but because he is shiite. Democracy is just a pretext. We all see that they want the war not the democracy. Otherwise, they will have put down weapons and make elections. Sunnis don't need enemies. They are their own enemies.
# US is not an honest broker and has no legitimate business being in the Middle East. Where is the UN? Where is the world's outrage?
# An honest side dealing with a dishonest side shall at some point stop dealing.
# US is using sunnis stupidity. Guess what ? The Pentagone did 9/11 and the Pentagone said that it was Sunnis. hahaha
# Mr.Lavrov, please stop hallucinating... The USA supports terrorists and there is no two way about it. If you do not stop USA now, they will bring terrorism to the footsteps of Russia real soon....
