RUSSIA is completing its delivery of surface-to-air missiles
to Syria, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov says, a move the United States
has called destabilising.
"Russia
is not planning to sell - Russia
has sold and signed contracts a long time ago, and is completing supplies of
the equipment - which is anti-aircraft systems, according to the already signed
contracts," Lavrov told reporters in Warsaw
on Friday.
He added that "this is not
forbidden by any international laws, this is defensive weaponry."
