FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda 
Moscow will vote against a “contradictory” draft resolution on Syria, as its authors are seeking approval for “unilateral” action through the guise of the UN General Assembly, Russia’s Foreign Ministry has stated.
The draft was proposed by several UN member-states and is
expected to be put to a vote shortly, the ministry said on
Saturday; Moscow has criticized the resolution for being
“one-sided.”
The draft resolution blames only the Syrian government for the
tragic and bloody crisis in the conflict-torn republic. This is
despite the Syrian opposition’s “illegal, including terrorist,
actions,” the Foreign Ministry said, adding that many such
violations had been confirmed by international organizations.
In addition, the draft “completely ignores” the external
logistical and financial support that the Syrian rebels already
receive.
The document is also full of contradictions, the Russian Foreign
Ministry explained: It supports the Arab League’s decision to
delegitimize Bashar Assad’s government while placing a range of
demands on the regime, “which in fact means the recognition of
its legitimacy.”
Moscow said that this “antagonism” also undermines the mandate
of the UN-Arab League envoy for Syria Lakhdar Brahimi, who has been
tasked with negotiating with all parties involved in the conflict
to broker a political solution.
The resolution’s authors seek the General Assembly’s approval
for their “unilateral plans on Syria, guided by the sole purpose of
the regime change and totally ignoring regional and political
consequences of such a scenario,” the Foreign Ministry said.
The new draft document is also “practically identical” to
two previous UN resolutions adopted in February and August 2012,
which only “hampered the crisis settlement process,” the
ministry said.
Russia has called on the draft’s authors to drop the resolution,
and to work with all the parties involved in the Syrian crisis
according to guidelines of the June 30, 2012, Geneva Communiqué.
“This document remains the only viable platform” for
resolving the two-year conflict, Moscow said.
Russia, along with China, voted against the General Assembly’s
non-binding resolutions in August and February 2012. As with this new draft, Moscow
slammed both documents as unbalanced and one-sided.
Moscow maintains that the only solution to the violence
engulfing Syria is open political dialogue between the opposing
sides.
“What is going on is a massacre, this is a disaster, a
catastrophe. It has to be stopped,” President Vladimir Putin
said earlier in April in an interview with Germany’s ARD TV.
“It is necessary to bring all the warring parties to the
negotiating table. I believe that this is the first step that has
to be done, and then it is necessary to elaborate further steps
during a discussion, which is important in our
view.”
