Russia opposes no-fly zone in Syria
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister, Gennady Gatilov, has said the introduction of a no-fly zone in Syria, proposed by the West-led Friends of Syria group, is a "counter-productive" and "unilateral" step.
Adding that the no-fly zone in Libya has resulted in heavy damage to infrastructure and civilian casualties, he called on all parties to implement the declaration to stop the violence, which was adopted at the Geneva meeting on June 30. He also stressed that the UN Security Council was unlikely to agree with the idea either.
