Situation In Syria's Idlib To Be Resolved In Accordance With Humanitarian Law - Sergey Lavrov
Umer Jamshaid Published February 16, 2019 | 05:55 PM
The situation in Syria's Idlib will be resolved in accordance with the international humanitarian law, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Saturday
"We cannot tolerate forever this hotbed of terrorism but how to resolve this problem, it's for the military to do.
They will certainly do it not the way terrorists in Raqqa were eliminated, where we still have corpses of civilians and the mines which are not attended by anyone. But it's up to the military to design a plan in accordance with the international humanitarian law requirements," Lavrov said at the Munich Security Conference.
"[On February 14, the agreement was reached by Russia, Iran and Turkey that] the military of Russian and Turkey, with the consent of the Syrian government, would try to establish a step-by-step approach, making several areas of joint patrol inside the [Idlib] zone of de-escalation," he added.
