Two familiar sources revealed to Reuters that Russia had strongly criticized the new leaders of Syria at a closed United Nations meeting this week, warned the rise of “jihadists” and compared violent events on the Syrian coast a few days ago and the genocide in Rwanda.
Moscow’s criticism on the new leaders of Syria intervenes at the closed meeting of the Security Council despite its efforts to keep two main military bases on the Syrian coast, the same region which witnessed the confrontations last week between the remains of the regime listed on the one hand and Syrian security and the army, in which dozens of two parties were killed in addition to civilians and civilians.
Violence broke out on March 6, after an attack on the new government security forces, and its responsibility was adopted by previous military figures loyal to the President ousted Bashar al -Assad.
This attack led to a military campaign led by government forces, in which he was accused of having killed a number of people in the Alawite sect, to which Bashar al -Assad belongs by groups accused of being linked to the new government.
The Kremlin, which supported Assad for years before his overthrow and his escape in Russia last December Tuesday, called for a united Syria, noting that he was in contact with other countries on this subject.
But his comments on the closed security council closed on Monday, which he called in collaboration with the United States was more serious, highlighting Moscow’s strategy, while seeking to reaffirm his influence on the path of Syria, and these comments were not previously published.
Two sources familiar with Reunion said that the Permanent Representative of Russia at the United Nations, Vasily Nippinesia, compared the work of “sectarian murder” in the Syrian coast and the Brwanda genocide in 1994 when the Moderate Tutsis and Hosho were subjected to systematic massacres in the hands of Huto entrestations led by the Rwandane army and a soldier.
The two sources also cited the Japaneseia saying in front of the participants that “nobody” has not stopped killing in Syria.
“I say what I want”
When asked if it looked like violence in Syria with the genocide in Rwanda, Nepinzia told Reuters: “I say what I want in closed consultations, on the basis of the hypothesis that it is closed consultations and nothing comes out.”
Anna Porschekaya, a Russian business expert at the Washington Institute, said Moscow took her reservations, when he was asked for the reason for more serious Russia in her private conversation statements in relation to public statements.
“They want to restore their influence in Syria and are looking for a way to apply, if they start to criticize the government publicly, that will not come back to them in any way,” she added.
“Russia also wants to be considered a superpower, equal to the United States, and seeks to resolve crises in cooperation with the United States, and therefore work in particular with the United States on this issue gives additional advantages,” she added.
Moscow has established military bases in Syria in recent years, including the two bases of Hmeimim Air and the Active Navy, which are two main pillars of the Russian military presence in the Mediterranean and Africa region.
Since the fall of Assad, Russia has announced that it had continued its talks with the Syrian authorities on several subjects, including the fate of two military bases for Moscow in the country.
