info warrior's video: Russia opposes arms embargo on Syria -- UN envoy

Translation: The text which we consider to be wrong and which will only aggravate the conflict, definitely we are not going to allow it to be adopted. We are honestly saying that to our colleagues. We continue maintaining close contacts with China on all issues discussed at the U.N Security Council. We have identical views on the events in Syria. I get in touch with my Chinese counterpart almost every hour to discuss the situation on Syria that is unfolding at the Security Council. We think that it's necessary to support it (the Arab League mission) and express our hope that it will continue its work. You know that the mission has suspended its activities at the moment. We believe that the mission is the world community's outpost for working on the Syrian crisis. They have a certain degree of responsibility and chances if the international community supports them. One would think it's reasonable and logical to say that we shouldn't supply arms to them as they're in the middle of a conflict. We were all aware of the events in Libya. What would it mean in our imperfect world? It would mean that arms shouldn't have been supplied to the government; but rather, anyone would've supplied them to oppositional armed groups. This is what it would mean in practice. How then can we say, alright, we will break all contacts and long-term relations with Syria. It was said just yesterday that what we supply isn't something that can be used to shoot at protesters. Even if we break our ties, they would start supplying arms even more; and that's exactly what they did in the Libyan situation. Unfortunately that's the picture we see. Therefore we strongly insist that we will not agree to any embargo, or even an attempt of an embargo, in this situation. 00:00 -- 02:22 ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.liberty-post.co.cc http://www.youtube.com/1987infowarrior http://www.facebook.com/infowarrior1987 https://twitter.com/infowarrior1987 ----------------------------------------------------------
