Blaming only Russia, China for situation in Syria "incorrect" - Lavrov

MOSCOW. July 16 (Interfax) - It is unacceptable to blame Russia and China for the protraction in the settlement of the Syrian crisis, said Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.

"It is incorrect to hang all dogs on Russia and China, let alone threats like 'they will pay for that', which actually is beyond not only diplomacy but elementary politeness," he told a press conference in Moscow on Monday.
