Moscow is convinced that Syria’s opposition should distance itself from the Islamic State and Al-Nusra terrorist groups (both banned in Russia), Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Monday following talks with his German counterpart Frank-Walter Steinmeier.
"We believe that it is still necessary not to allow international terrorist entities to prevail here and to ensure the beginning of genuine and true negotiations between all Syrian sides," Lavrov said.
This envisages strengthening the ceasefire regime and solving humanitarian problems in many parts of Syria, including in Aleppo, Lavrov said.
"We told our German friends about the steps that we are taking in contacts with the United States. We are convinced that a key goal is distancing the moderate opposition from the IS and Jabhat Al-Nusra," he stressed. "It’s alarming that many so-called moderate opposition members more often coordinate their actions with these terrorists."
The sides also discussed the situation in Aleppo, he said. "We hope that with the participation of Russia and the US, other Western countries and countries of the region, and the UN we will be able to improve the situation of the civilian population and not allow militants to dictate their conditions," he stressed.
"The situation in Aleppo is changing all the time," the minister said. "We see very big risks (for airlifting humanitarian cargo - TASS), that it is not always possible - due to weather conditions or changing configuration on the gound - to deliver this cargo to those it is meant for rather than to terrorists."
"While solving humanitarian problems, it is important to make sure that terrorists do not get reinforcements in terms of weapons, gunmen and ammunition under the guise of humanitarian aid," Lavrov said.
"Those who want to deliver such cargo, need to coordinate this, above all, with the Syrian government," the minister said. He added that Russia would "coordinate its steps with the UN" in the issue of humanitarian aid delivery.
