Lavrov called the conditions for the termination of the operation of the Russian Federation in Syria

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that Russian troops in Syria would not leave until they achieve victory over terrorist groups, in particular over the Islamic State forbidden in the Russian Federation (IS, ISIS or Daish ), Interfax reports. He also called one of the key conditions for the completion of the military operation.

"Russian airstrikes will not be stopped until we really win terrorist organizations: ISIS, Jebhat-An-Nusra (prohibited in the Russian Federation) and similar to them. I see no reason to stop these blows," the minister emphasized at the Muscat, which took place following the results of the visit to the Sultanate Oman.

He also noted that the termination of smuggling across the Turkish-Syrian border is the main component necessary to ensure the ceasefire in Syria. "The key component in order for the ceasefire to work is already one of the most acute tasks of blocking smuggling across the Turkish -Syrian border that feeds the militants," Lavrov said.

The deputy secretary of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Yevgeny Lukyanov confirmed on Wednesday that there is no specific deadlines for the completion of the Russian military operation in Syria. “There are no deadlines. It is clear that she (operation) will be non -flowing,” Lukyanov promised.

The Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov also spoke about the actions of the anti -terrorist coalition led by the United States. "Our partners continue to avoid the pragmatic dialogue that we proposed from the very beginning. Of course, this is suspicious and raises questions about the real goals of the coalition," he said.

Lavrov recalled that Russia initially offered partners from the coalition, led by the United States, to share the lists of goals and places where air strikes in Syria and which cannot be bombed, but there is still no dialogue on these issues. At the same time, he emphasized that Russia, unlike the coalition, has the consent of Damascus to conduct air strikes.

In addition, Lavrov commented on the conditions nominated by representatives of the “Er-Riyad list” of the Syrian opposition in Geneva , in particular, on the termination of the operation of the Russian Air Force in Syria. "To expect that preliminary conditions in the form of ultimatums will help to solve the problems, I think that this is myopic and unpromising policy," the minister said.

“It seems to me that some members of this group are too spoiled by their sponsors, first of all, by our Turkish neighbors, who alone blocked the accession to negotiations of such an important and influential force as the party of the Democratic Union of Syrian Kurds,” the Russian Foreign Minister added.

“The foregoing fully applies to the second group of the Syrian opposition - the so -called Lausanne group, because it also appeared capricious people who begin to put forward preliminary conditions that have nothing to do with the fundamental principles of the Geneva Communist, and the resolution of 2054 SB of the UN,” concluded Sergey Lavrov.

Currently, negotiations are with difficulty in Geneva, which the special messenger of the UN Secretary General in Syria Staffan de Misturus unsuccessfully tried to launch from February 1. So far, the mismatching positions of the parties have not moved towards the search for a compromise either to the iot. And the delegation from the Syrian opposition said that the air raids of the Russian Aircosy Forces in Syria can undermine the efforts made by the international community to resolve the Syrian conflict.
