Air strikes on Islamic State without Damascus consent counter to international principles
The unilateral delivery of air strikes on the Islamic State terrorist group does not correspond to the principles of fighting terrorism on the UN basis, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Wednesday.
"Russia calls for consolidating international efforts to counter common threats. We provide consistent support, including by supplying arms and military equipment, for the governments of Iraq, Syria, Jordan and other countries of the region," Lavrov said at a solemn reception on the occasion of Islamic New Year.
"We're convinced that the fight against terrorism should rely on the firm base of international law under the UN Security Council control," he said.
"We believe that it is necessary to fight terrorism and extremism on the UN basis," he added.
