Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said today that
Russia would welcome any country’s offer of a safe haven to Syrian President
Bashar Assad, but insisted that Moscow itself has no intention of giving him
shelter if he steps down. (AP/Hurriyet Daily News, 22 December)
“If there is anyone willing to provide him guarantees,
they are welcome!” Lavrov told reporters on board a plane returning from
Brussels where he attended a Russia-EU summit. “We would be the first to cross
ourselves and say: Thank God, the carnage is over! If it indeed ends the carnage,
which is far from certain.”
Russia has used its veto right at the U.N. Security
Council to protect its old ally from international sanctions, but it has
increasingly sought to distance itself from Assad.
