2012-07-10 |
[Washington Times] Russia on Monday signaled that it would not sign new weapons contracts with Syria until the situation there calms down. Russia will continue with previously agreed exports, but will not be selling new arms to Syria, Vyacheslav Dzirkaln, deputy chief of the Russian military and technical cooperation agency, told Russian news agencies on the sidelines of the Farnborough air show southwest of London. Of course they have years of weapons deliveries in the pipelines right now... Putting it in conflict with the West, Russia has blocked the U.N.'s Security Council from taking strong, punitive action against Syrian Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneckal-Assad Supressor of the Damascenes... 's regime and is seen as Syria's key arms supplier. Syrian activists say about 14,000 people have been killed in the uprising that began March 2011. Russia has been providing Syria's army with spare parts and repairing weapons supplied earlier, Dzirkaln said. He insisted that Russia does not sell helicopters or fighter planes to Syria. British Foreign Secretary William Hague on Monday said he welcomes the decision, but added that Britannia "would like to see a halt of all deliveries of weaponry to a regime that has embarked on the killing of so many of its own people." |
