Baku, Azerbaijan, Jan. 17
Trend:
War in Syria and in other regional countries can be stopped primarily by force, Sputnik reported citing the Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.
Lavrov was addressing his annual press conference on Jan. 17.
"The war may be stopped, and the rights of Christians, Muslims and other people who have lived all their life in Syria, in other regional countries, may be ensured first of all through the use of force, because it is necessary to beat terrorism ruthlessly and completely," Lavrov told reporters. "That is what we are doing, helping the Syrian army and the militia, who jointly with the Syrian army are involved in the fight against terrorism."
