Russia is not supporting Bashar Al-Assad, it supports the plan of Kofi Annan, the resolution of the United Nations Security Council and the Geneva communique, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said.
“We are not supporting Bashar Al-Assad. We are supporting what all have agreed upon: Kofi Annan’s plan, the Security Council resolution and the Geneva communique, and we support these documents totally,” Lavrov told reporters on Monday.
“These documents can only be implemented entirely, and not in individual parts that someone might be favoring,” the minister said.
“We shall accept any decision by the Syrian people as to who will run Syria, as long as it is a decision by Syrians themselves,” Lavrov said.
