Declarations
of a possible use of force to resolve the Syrian conflict are an
attempt to force the Syrian government to "slam the door in face" of the
peace negotiations, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said.
"Steps are being taken, some of them publicly, such as
declarations that the use of force remains a possible option, steps are
being taken to politicize all humanitarian issues at the UN Security
Council; probably, they wish to force the government to slam the door shut [on
negotiations]. These attempts are bad. One has to honor agreements. We
have done our job honestly. And we expect our partners to do the same,"
Lavrov told a press conference after negotiations with his German
counterpart Frank-Walter Steinmeier.
