Russia will be prepared to support the proposal made by the UN secretary-general’s special envoy, Staffan de Mistura, for the withdrawal of Jabhat al-Nusra (terrorist organization outlawed in Russia - TASS) from Aleppo for the sake of saving the city, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told Chanel One’s weekly Sunday news roundup Voskresnoye Vremya in an interview.
"According to UN estimates, there are some 6,000-8,000 militants there. About half of them - de Mistura said so himself at the UN Security Council meeting - are Jabhat al-Nusra members. I’ve heard only his statement concerning al-Nusra. For God’s sake, if al-Nusra with all of its armaments leaves for Idlib, where its main forces are based, for the sake of saving Aleppo we would be prepared to support this approach and will be ready to ask the Syrian government to agree to this."
However, Lavrov said, "the question arises about the other half of the militants who merged with al-Nusa over the past weeks and days. What will happen to it? If it wishes to leave and take its weapons, it is welcome to do so. No questions. But if it wishes to stay in the city, then a separate agreement is to be negotiated how to handle this problem."
"Those who will not leave with al-Nusra, must clearly distance themselves from it, to sign such an official obligation on paper," Lavrov said. "Possibly, the government agencies, the police and this part of the armed opposition might agree to form some joint law enforcement bodies to maintain normal life there to let civilians feel secure."
Militants who have separated from Jabhat al-Nusra will be able to form law enforcement forces in Aleppo along with the police, according to Lavrov.
"Those who are not leaving with al-Nusra must clearly dissociate themselves from it, to commit this liability to paper, officially," Lavrov said. "Maybe then, government structures, police and these armed oppositionists will be able to form some joint law enforcement bodies to maintain normal life to make people feel secure."........More: http://tass.com/politics/904896
