Lavrov: US does not want to preserve the integrity of Syria

Minister noted the danger of Washington's plans to establish border security zones in the CAP

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, speaking on Monday, January 15, at the annual big press conference, noted the danger of US plans to help the so-called Forces of Democratic Syria (SDS) create certain border security zones in the Arab republic.

According to the Russian Foreign Minister, this intention of the United States says that Washington is not interested in preserving the integrity of the Syrian state. "The actions that we are witnessing now show that the United States still does not want to preserve the territorial integrity of Syria," Lavrov said.

At the same time, the diplomat explained that the creation of border security zones "means the isolation of a vast territory along the border of Turkey with Iraq and east of the Euphrates River." "This is a very serious issue, which raises fears that a course has been taken for the partition of Syria," the minister said.
