Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov gave an interview to «Moskovsky Komsomolets» newspaper, during which, among others, he answered the question about the war in Syria. According to the head of Russian diplomacy, the war in the Arab Republic is not over yet. Now the most important task is the final elimination of the hotbeds of terrorism in Idlib and on the east bank of the Euphrates, where several thousand militants remain.
«The terrorists of "Jabhat al-Nusra" created a new structure there with a new name, within which they try to subjugate all other armed groups, including those that are considered moderate and open to dialogue with the Government. This is a bad process and now, finally, a joint patrol by Russian and Turkish soldiers has begun in certain areas of the Idlib security zone, »Lavrov said, in particular.
According to the minister, after many years of interruption, the antiterrorist dialogue with the United States has been resumed. Similar work is now underway with the European Union.
«As one very concrete proposal, we are moving the idea of joining the data bank created by the FBI, which accumulates information on all movements of terrorist fighters,» Sergey Lavrov said.
