Moscow, SANA-Russian Foreign Ministry reaffirmed that the oilfields in Syria must be under the control of the Syrian state.<\/p>\n
In a statement to journalists on Wednesday in a comment on the US administration\u2019s plans to reinforce its military presence in the areas of the oil fields in Syria, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Vershinin said “Syrian oil is a national asset of all Syrians. [Russia] believes that Syrians should control their own natural resources, including oil.”<\/p>\n
The ministry further noted that Russia wouldn’t cooperate with the US on the issue of Syrian oil. “We will not cooperate with the US on the issue of the Syrian oil,” Vershinin said.<\/p>\n
Washington tries to complete its colonial role in Syria and the region whether on the political or military levels through its forces which are stealing the Syrian oil, and this is what had been confirmed by the Russian Defense Ministry recently as it published photos of oil tanks smuggling oil from Syria under the guard of the US military.<\/p>\n
In another context, Vershinin announced that coordination is underway to agree on the date of holding the next round of Astana talks on the crisis in Syria in Nur-Sultan city, indicating that the meeting will be held soon.<\/p>\n
13 rounds of Astana talks on settling the crisis in Syria, the latest of which was last August, and all of them underlined the necessity of preserving Syria\u2019s sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity and of eliminating terrorism in the country.<\/p>\n
Kosachev: US military reinforcements around Syrian oilfields radically violate Syria\u2019s sovereignty<\/span><\/p>\n In a relevant context, Chairman of the Russian Federation Council’s Committee on International Affairs Konstantin Kosachev affirmed that the military reinforcements deployed by the US around oilfields in Syria radically violate the Syrian sovereignty.<\/p>\n Kosachev, on his Facebook page, indicated that Washington claims that the goal behind these schemes is to \u201cprevent terrorists from reaching the oilfields,\u201d but the real reason is to \u201cinvest the oilfields in Syria regardless of the truth that the Syrian sovereignty is being violated radically in this way which doesn\u2019t concern the West that much.\u201d<\/p>\n Ruaa al-Jazaeri<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Moscow, SANA-Russian Foreign Ministry reaffirmed that the oilfields in Syria must be under the control of the Syrian state.
