Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has said UN should
condemn the Kurds massacre in Syria, following reports saying over 400
Kurds were killed by Al-Qaeda linked rebels.
"We were shocked yesterday by media reports saying that around 450 peaceful Kurds, including more than 100 children, were slaughtered in northern Syria because men from their tribe were fighting against Jabhat al-Nusra."
"I consider that the UN Security Council will strongly condemn terrorism without any preconditions and will be consistent in its position. We could see previously that some members of the UN Security Council did not want to condemn terrorism in Syria on the assumption that, regardless of the fact that this sounds cynical, those who commit terrorist acts fight against the exhausted regime. This position is absolutely unacceptable. There should be no double standards in regards to terrorism," Lavrov said. [Reuters]
