Russia Says New Syria Massacre 'Provocation' against Annan Plan
Russia on Thursday said a new massacre in Syria in which at least 55 civilians were reported killed was a provocation aimed at undermining the faltering peace plan of U.N.-Arab League envoy Kofi Annan.
"There is no question that certain forces, not for the first time, are using the most brutal and vile provocations to undermine the plan of Kofi Annan," Russian foreign ministry spokesman Alexander Lukashevich told a regular briefing in televised remarks, referring to the latest violence in Hama.
