Lavrov: U.N. Resolution Threatening Syria May 'Wreck Peace Talks'
2013-09-17
[An Nahar] Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Monday warned that talks by some western countries on a tough United Nations
...an organization originally established to war on dictatorships which was promptly infiltrated by dictatorships and is now held in thrall to dictatorships...
resolution on Syria could wreck peace efforts, but said he was "convinced" the U.S. would adhere to the framework it drew up with Russia.

He spoke after Britannia, La Belle France and the United States at a meeting in Gay Paree agreed on the need for a "strong and binding" U.N. resolution on the transfer of Syria's chemical weapons to international control.

"If for someone it is more important to constantly threaten, to scare, to seek for an excuse for strikes... that is another path to wrecking completely the chances of calling the Geneva-2 conference," Lavrov said, referring to peace talks proposed by Russia and the United States.

He was speaking at a joint presser with his Egyptian counterpart Nabil Fahmi in Moscow.

Lavrov added however that he is "convinced that despite those announcements... the American side will firmly adhere, as a normal negotiating partner, to what was reached" at talks with Russia in Geneva on Saturday.
