Lavrov slams EU sanctions on Syria

PanARMENIAN.Net - Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov condemned Saturday, September 3, sanctions imposed on Syria by the European Union, saying they "will lead to nothing good."

"We have always said that unilateral sanctions will lead to nothing good. This ruins the partnership approach to any crisis," Reuters quoted Lavrov as saying on the sidelines of CIS Foreign Ministers’ meeting in the Tajik capital Dushanbe.

"We are against unilateral sanctions."

The EU decided to impose sanctions on Syrian oil exports on Friday, saying President Bashar al-Assad was massacring his own countrymen.
