Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov said on Tuesday that the US was unprepared to separate terrorist organizations from the moderate opposition in Syria.
“The Syrian government has embarked on the separation of terrorists from the moderate opposition and the civilians.. Our colleagues in Washington were not ready to do for political reasons, and did not intend to do throughout the past months in defiance of the signals and the promises they gave us,” Ryabkov added in a statement to Novosti.
Russian-US partnership in Syria cannot be genuine as long as Washington puts forward additional demands, according to Ryabkov.
“We have repeatedly drawn to the Americans’ attention to the fact that, after each successful round of closed negotiations and after reaching certain agreements, Washington begins putting forward additional requirements that violate the entire balance and prevent progress immediately afterward,” Ryabkov said.
He added that “there are regular Russia-US contacts along various lines. Both foreign and defense ministries are involved in these contacts. We attribute as unflattering the assessments we hear from our American colleagues.”
As soon as the Syrian government and the armed forces have achieved, with Russian support, a real progress in the fight against terrorists, the Americans began to use unacceptable methods, demanding, in essence, the cessation of the fight against terrorists.
