Russia Steps
Back From Envoy’s Comments on Syria
MOSCOW — The Russian
Foreign Ministry distanced itself on Friday from comments by its Middle East
envoy, who was widely quoted on Thursday as saying that rebels in Syria are
making significant gains and may defeat President Bashar
al-Assad.
Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov told the Public Chamber,
a Kremlin advisory group, that it was “impossible to rule out a victory of the
Syrian opposition,” in comments that were immediately made public by Russian
wire services. The statement appeared to signal a turn in the nearly
two-year-old conflict and presented new evidence that the Syrian president was
losing politically as well as militarily.
A statement from The
Foreign Ministry which was published on its Web site on Friday, said that Mr.
Bogdanov “has not given any announcements or special interviews to journalists
in recent days,” suggesting that his comments were given informally and not
meant for publication.
To be frank, the world didn’t
expect Russia change its stand without any compensation also we don’t believe Bogdanov made a such statement without prior Kremlin approval.
Anyway, we are welcome Russia if they can see truly what is going on ground( obviously they can see so clearly ) and ready to jump on the bandwagon rest
of world, still Russia preserve their position middle east (reminds Muslim population is 2 billions around world),
sentiment of Muslims re: Syrian issue, Russia should consider! If Russia thinks, they can still get out something
by sheltering on terrorist Assad wreckage ship, hold on criminal hand, well then that is up to them. End of the day numbers! But they come to open discuss with
rest of the world then this conflict may will be less bloodshed. Also Russia should consider, terrorist Assad
chemical weapon hangings over their forehead, in any event he used it to Syrian
people Russia should full responsible for it!
BTW, in my view Russia try to this issue bring into the the useless unsc( it has been it will be useless for the Syrian conflict) where they think they power to veto! In my view this is only can solved it military action, no Geneva agreement either, no breathing space for terrorist Assad, this is the only way, no more let this deadly game play around by the bunch of lair terrorist and hypocrites. We know now who they are, simply international community stand firmly one direction, arming FSA revolutionary so they can effectively bring this conflict forward! To be frank do international community need Russia solve this Syrian conflict? No I don;t think so, outside of unsc they are dead ducks! the above Bogdanov statement probably testing the current, how the world react! Russia is irrelevant! With or without, the FSA Revolutionary going to Win! No one change them, no one able stop them regardless what the world think, if the world provide them proper cool weapons the ending is much quicker!
