Tel-Aviv, 26 October: Russia will oppose attempts to introduce UN Security Council sanctions against Syria in connection with the investigation into the killing of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri.
"Russia will do everything necessary so that there are no attempts to announce the introduction of sanctions," Mikhail Kamynin, the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, who is accompanying the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Sergey Lavrov, on a tour of the Middle East, has told journalists.
Kamynin stressed that the Russian position would be based on ensuring that a UN Security Council resolution "confirmed the just and objective nature of the conducted investigation".
He reported that Sergey Lavrov would be taking part in the UN Security Council session on [Monday] 31 October in New York at which a draft resolution on Syria would be discussed.
