US responsibe for coalition members' air incidents in Syria — Russia FM

The United States is responsible for compliance with the memorandum on prevention of air incidents involving combat aircraft in Syria by all the countries of the US-led coalition, including Turkey, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Tuesday after talks with Foreign Minister of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) Abdullah Al Nahyan.

"From the very beginning we proposed to coordinate our actions to avoid the questions 'who aims at the right targets and who does not," Lavrov said. "We proposed cooperation but our proposals have been invariably rejected. The only agreement with the United States is the memorandum on the prevention of air incidents. It applies to all members of the US-led coalition, so the United States bears responsibility for this."
