Moscow does not back all of Brahimi's ideas on Syria settlement - Foreign Ministry
MOSCOW. Feb 7 (Interfax) - Moscow does not agree with all of UN/Arab League Envoy to Syria Lakhdar Brahimi's ideas on settling the crisis in Syria, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Alexander Lukashevich said.
"I would like to make it clear that, yes, surely, we have supported and will support Mr. Brahimi, of which we are saying repeatedly, but this support is not unconditional, and not all of the envoy's ideas appear to be consensus-based," Lukashevich said at a news conference in Moscow on Thursday.
"You know that, after he spoke at a UN Security Council consultative meeting in New York, these ideas did not win consensus-based support, and therefore all participants in the Syrian settlement efforts, perhaps Russia in the first place, are working on this," he said.
