Russia accuses US of DIVIDING Syria through illegal airstrikes in BLISTERING attack
RUSSIA's Foreign Minister has accused the US of trying to divide Syria while ignoring
international law by launching missiles into the war-torn country.
Sergey Lavrov made the accusations on Saturday while meeting his Turkish and Iranian counterparts
in Moscow for talks on the seven-year Syrian war.
Mr Lavrov said: "While we are building options for peace, some of our other colleagues are
trying to destroy the results of our joint constructive efforts, not even following the
international law, like in the recent operation of the US, UK and France against Syria."
The airstrike on April 14 targeted suspected chemical weapons infrastructure following
an alleged chemical weapons attack on Douma, which has been blamed on the Assad regime.
At least 75 people are said to have been killed by the attack, but Syria has denied responsibility.
Mr Lavrov said the airstrikes "seriously aggravated the situation".
The foreign minister added US statements about supporting the territorial integrity of Syria
"are only words that, apparently, cover plans for reformatting the Middle East and
plans for dividing Syria into parts".
He also said Russia, Iran and Turkey will work together to ensure that won't happen.
The meeting was to prepare the groundwork for the ninth round of Asanta talks, aimed
at ending the violence in Syria, which are to be held in Kazakhstan next month.
They said the Asanta process is the only way of reducing tensions.
Talks between the three nations have regularly taken place since 2017 in the Kazakh capital,
Astana.
They are meant to complement the UN-led peace process.
Turkey's Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said it is important to work with the UN to
ensure the legitimacy of political solution in Syria because a military solution would
be illegal and unsustainable.
But the opposition in Syria, which is backed by the US, UK and France, have been adamant
that a political solution cannot include Assad, which Turkey believes too.
Al Jazeera's Rory Challands from Moscow said: "Turkey has always felt that Assad
should not really be a part of Syria's constitutional future.
"The Russians have always said that the opposition needs to get rid of these preconditions
because they are destructive to Syria's peace prospects."
