Russia: Crisis in Syria Can be Solved Politically

The Russian Foreign Ministry stressed that the solution of the crisis in Syria could be only reached through political means.

 

The remarks were made in a statement issued on Tuesday on the meeting of the Russian President’s Special Representative to the Middle East, Deputy Foreign Minister, Mikhail Bogdanov and a delegation of Syrian tribal council leaders from the northeast of Syria.

 

“The talks focused on the current situation in the tribal areas in the north-east of Syria due to the accelerating crimes of the so-called the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) there,” the Ministry said.

 

“The two sides affirmed that military means can’t provide a solution to the crisis in Syria, but it can be only solved through political and diplomatic means based on the Syrian-Syrian dialogue,” the Ministry added.

 

The Ministry indicated that talks during the meeting focused on “discussing the participation of the tribal councils in Syria in the political process in a way that serves the halt of violence and the reconstruction of the economic and social infrastructure in the country.”
