Lavrov: Syrians alone will decide their country’s future

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov stressed that the Syrian people are the only ones who will decide Syria’s future, underlining the need not to interfere in the work of the committee of discussing constitution. Lavrov said in a press conference with his his Nepalese counterpart Pradeep Kumar Gyawali in Moscow on Monday that a political solution to the crisis in Syria should be found in accordance with UN resolution No. 2254, which confirms that Syrians alone will decide their country’s future. The Russian Diplomat emphasized the rejection of any attempts to interfere in the work of the committee of discussing constitution, noting that some countries tried for nine months to block the efforts of the United Nations to launch the work of the committee and that the threats to foil it still exist. Lavrov pointed out that these attempts contradict UN resolution No. 2254 and the United Nations should guarantee apply it.
