Riyadh: Saudi Arabia
has condemned a Russian statement accusing it of supporting
terrorism in Syria.
"Such irresponsible statements are mistaking the reality of the
kingdom's keenness to deal with the Syrian crisis according to the
rules of international legitimacy, and through the (UN) Security
Council which is concerned with preserving the international peace
and security," a Saudi foreign ministry statement said.
"The Russian accusations are based on false assumptions repeated
by the Syrian media which is negated by the international
community claiming that Al Qaeda along with other armed terrorist
groups form the basis of the Syrian opposition," the statement
said.
"This approach reflects a clear support to the regime to commit
what rises to the level of crimes against humanity, which might
subject the supporter of these acts to moral, legal and criminal
law responsibility," the statement added.
