US, Russia, Turkey and Saudi Arabia Meet in Vienna. Fake Media Reports on an Agreement regarding Assad’s Resignation
On Friday, Lavrov met with his US, Turkish and Saudi Arabian
counterparts – mainly discussing ways to resolve Syria’s long-running
conflict, waged by Washington for regime change, Obama fully responsible
for genocidal slaughter and mass displacement.
Media reports falsely suggested the four ministers agreed on Assad’s
resignation. “Rumors have begun to circulate that we are discussing or
will be discussing that President Assad must go after some time. This is
not true,” Lavrov stressed.
Of course, there will be speculation. (It) appeared
before this meeting even took place. I heard that the rumors are being
spread already that it has been agreed on in some place or another that
in some period of time Assad will step down. This is not the case.
We have confirmed our position. (It’s) very simple…The future of
Syria, the future of the Syrian president, the future of any other
individuals must be decided by the Syrian people alone.
We all want this crisis to be resolved through restoring Syria’s
territorial integrity and independence as a sovereign state – a secular
(one), where the rights of all religious and ethnic groups are
guaranteed without exception.
