FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda “No warnings or signals in the statement,” the Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) said on Thursday.
The non-binding UNSC statement was unanimously passed on Wednesday. The document carries less weight than a formal Security Council resolution and supports a six-point plan that the special envoy to Syria for the United Nations and the Arab League, Kofi Annan, proposed to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in two rounds of talks in Damascus on March 10 and 11.
Annan said on March 11 he “presented a set of concrete proposals” to President Assad, “which would have a real impact on the situation on the ground” in Syria.
Russia and China have also supported the non-binding statement.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said in a statement issued on Tuesday that Russia is “ready to support Kofi Annan’s mission and those proposals he conveyed to the Syrian side and to several opposition groups and also to the UN Security Council.”
Russia and China vetoed a Western-backed draft resolution on Syria at the UN Security Council on February 4. The two countries rejected the draft as “unbalanced.”
Moscow and Beijing also vetoed a European-drafted UN Security Council resolution against Syria on October 5, 2011.
Syria has been experiencing unrest since mid-March 2011.
The West and the Syrian opposition blame the government for the turmoil, but Damascus says “terrorists” are responsible for the unrest.
