Russia’s Lavrov says Syria rebels must ‘act’ to make truce work
Geneva, (MILLAT ONLINE):Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Wednesday that rebels in Syria’s Eastern Ghouta were responsible for ensuring that a “humanitarian pause” in the area delivers relief for devastated civilians.
“Russia together with the Syrian government have already announced the establishment of humanitarian corridors in Eastern Ghouta”, Lavrov told the United Nations Human Rights Council.
“Now, it is the turn for the militants and their sponsors to act, militants entrenched there who still continue shelling Damascus, blocking aid deliveries and the evacuation of those wishing to leave”, he added.
