إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

Syria's foreign minister will on Monday travel to Moscow to discuss the crisis in his country with his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov, Moscow said.

Foreign Minister Walid Muallem's visit will come after a Saint Petersburg summit of 20 major developed and developing economies at which the Syrian crisis is expected to feature prominently.

Russia has been a staunch ally of Syrian President Bashar Assad's regime for the past two and a half years, and is fiercely resisting possible military action in response to the regime's suspected use of chemical weapons.

"They (the talks) will focus on an all-encompassing discussion of all the aspects of the current situation in Syria and around it," the Russian foreign ministry said in a statement.

Hey, inferring from your posts I think you're the best person to ask given you're Syrian it seems.

Do you frequent liveleak? Are things like l i v e l e a k . c o m/view?i=76a_1378378285 common? How widespread is this fanaticism in the opposition? I'm genuinely concerned for Lebanon and want to know.
