Putin Warns against 'Aggression' on Syria

إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday called any possible foreign military intervention against Syria a form of "aggression" that would rattle the entire region and contravene international law.

Putin told a summit of an ex-Soviet security group that he was grateful for its decision to support Moscow's refusal to sanction strikes against President Bashar Assad's regime for its alleged use of chemical weapons.

"The members of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) are united in their view that the situation around Syria can only be resolved through political means," ITAR-TASS quoted Putin as saying at a meeting in the southern Russian port city of Sochi.

"Any outside use of force would be a grave violation of international law, which in the language of the U.N. Charter is referred to as 'aggression'," Putin said.

The Moscow-led bloc also includes Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan.

Its funny when you M14 guys talk about democracy. Where? Is it in Saudi? Is it in Muslim brotherhood? Is it in any Sunnis country on this planet. You guys created terror. Every terror act attacking innocent was committed by you. Can you stop and look at the mirror. USA supporting you because you are the best receipe for Israel existance. Your hatered and backwardness is more than what Israel can ask for in the Arabic world. I know I will be deleted for mentioning Sunnis while you guys can bash Christians and Shiaa with no problem on this naharnet. Pathetic

Putin warns? More like Putin advises against. To warn someone there has to be an obvious consequence. Putin hasn't exactly stated he will do anything about anything, in this article. Sure, in other articles he has said he will help defend Syria against invasion. I hate headlines that tell lies. It's weak reporting.
