FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda In a telephone conversation with Medvedev on the Syrian situation, the Saudi monarch said that Russia should have “coordinated with the Arabs…before using the veto,” state-owned Saudi Press Agency reported on Wednesday.
Earlier in February, China and Russia vetoed a UN Security Council draft resolution on the country, which called on Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to resign and hand over the power to opposition leaders.
“But now, dialogue about what is happening [in Syria] is futile,” the king added.
Syria has been experiencing unrest since mid-March 2011. The violence has claimed the lives of hundreds, reportedly including over 2,000 security forces.
Damascus blames ‘outlaws, saboteurs, and armed terrorist groups’ for the unrest, asserting that it is being orchestrated from abroad.
The West and the Syrian opposition, however, accuse the government of killing protesters.
Earlier in the month, the members of six-nation Arab grouping, [Persian] Gulf Cooperation Council, including Saudi Arabia, expelled Syrian ambassadors from their capitals and recalled their own envoys from Damascus to protest against, what they called, Syrian government’s violence against Syrian civilians.
However, Moscow has asserted that the unrest should be resolved through negotiation between Damascus and the Syrian opposition. Beijing has also declared that it maintains an unbiased position on the situation in Syria and is trying to resolve the issue through dialog with all the involved parties.
