Moscow, SANA \u2013 Russia\u2019s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on Wednesday said that Washington has failed fulfill its obligations under the Russian-US agreement on Syria, especially regarding the separation of \u201cmoderate\u201d opposition from terrorists.<\/p>\n
In an interview to the CNN Channel, said that the US actions gives the impression that \u201cwhat the US really want is to spare Jabht al-Nusra terrorist organization and to keep it in case they decide to use a \u2018Plan B\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe key problem is the total inability of the US and the other members of the US-led alliance to separate the moderates from Jabhat al-Nusra,\u201d said Lavrov, adding \u201cI do not want to suspect the US of encouraging terrorism but what they do in the case of Jabhat al-Nusra makes me very suspicious.\u201d<\/p>\n
Regarding Lausanne talks on Syria, the Russian Foreign Minister said that in addition to Russia and the US, the meeting will be attended by Turkey, Saudi Arabia and maybe Qatar.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe want to have a meeting of the countries that have direct influence on what is going on the ground in Syria, either by being there \u2026 or through financing and supplying arms to the opposition,\u201d adding that it would be a meeting \u201cin a narrow format\u201d involving Russia, the US and \u201csome regional powers.\u201d<\/p>\n
He said he hopes that it will be \u201ca business-like discussion and not some general assembly-like debate\u201d, highlighting the importance of the involvement of regional players such as Iran, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar is very important.<\/p>\n
On the situation in Aleppo, Lavrov described as \u201creal catastrophe\u201d the suffering of civilians in Aleppo due to terrorists\u2019 practices, stressing the need to separate moderate opposition from terrorists to end this suffering.<\/p>\n
