Russian Warships to Syrian waters
(DP-News - agencies) According to Russian sources, Russia is sending its warships to Syrian waters in a move aimed at preventing any foreign attacks against Syrian territories. The recent move conveys the message that Moscow will block any NATO-led attack under the guise of “humanitarian intervention,” The Nation reported.
Russia has been voicing support for Syria, which it says is currently going through a civil war.
The Western military alliance, NATO, has been making efforts to demonize the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and his forces, while downplaying attacks by opposition forces.
Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has also recently warned the West against any “Libya-style” military intervention in Syria.
Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin on Friday said that Russia rejects using force to solve international problems, adding that Moscow's stance at the UN Security Council concerning Syria was characterized by restraint and foresight.
In a press conference with his French counterpart in Moscow, Putin downplayed the importance of the British- French- German step manifested in setting draft resolution on Syria in the UN General Assembly.
He expressed hope that the New York Police Department won't resort to asymmetric force to disperse the demonstrators of Occupy Wall Street Movement, adding that human rights should be respected in France, Russia, Syria and the USA.
He criticized the attempts of some sides at changing the reality of matters in Syria, adding that Syria's issue is very sensitive to Russia because Syria is close to Russia's borders.
Co-Chairman of the Russian Committee for Solidarity with the Syrian People Oleg Fomin said that the Arab League has behaved according to the US and Europe instructions and to satisfy the Nato-member, Turkey .
"The Arab League resolution against Syria was unfair… it was adopted by the Arab countries in the Gulf area that don't want to see any state realize development and justice, but they want to return to the occupation ear following the World War I," Fomin said in a speech to SANA correspondent in Moscow.
He was confident that the Russian stance towards Syria is firm, hoping this stance would remain clear in defending principles of justice and right.
Fomin said that the Syrian external opposition delegation who visited Moscow failed to change the Russian leadership's stance over Syria.
Syria has been experiencing unrest since mid-March, with demonstrations being held both against and in support of Syrian President Assad.
According to the United Nations more than 3,000 people, including members of the security forces, have been killed in the turmoil.
The opposition and Western countries accuse Syrian security forces of being behind the killings in the country, but the government blames what it describes as outlaws, saboteurs and armed terrorist groups for the deadly violence, stressing that the unrest is being orchestrated from abroad.
