🔹Tackling the issues related to the format, the way the Syrian state will be organized, the way it will exist and develop is not #Russia’s objective. This task belongs to the Syrians themselves, various representatives, opposition groups, the official authorities and so on https://tass.com/politics/927636
🔹It is important to make sure that #Syria’s new сonstitution does not become an even greater bone of contention. We are not offering any forms of organization for the Syrian state. We raise issues that require discussion with the Syrians. The time has come to put the draft сonstitution into the hands of the opposing sides instead of assault rifles
🔹The recent ruling by #Lithuania’s Court of Appeal sentenced Russian citizen Vladimir Razvodov in absentia to 12 years in prison for the crimes allegedly committed by him in 1991. We regard this decision as a continuation of #Vilnius’s flawed policy aimed at using justice for executing a political order https://tass.com/politics/927645
