Russia Rejects No-Fly Zone in Syria, To Receive Syrian Delegation
Local Editor

Russia on Friday rejected a proposal to set up no-fly zones after the United States said it was ready to consider the move.

"You have to solve citizen security issues using methods put in practice by international humanitarian law," Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov told Sky News Arabia in an interview to be aired in full on Saturday and released to Russian media.
"But if you try to create no-fly zones and safety zones for military purposes by citing an international crisis -- this is unacceptable," he said.
This comes as Lavrov plans to meet members of a Syrian delegation headed by Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Affairs Kadri Jamil on Tuesday.
The upcoming visit of the Syrian delegation to Russia will be the second one this month. The delegation from the Syrian government first visited Moscow in August, when Russia and Syria reached an agreement on Russian money and oil supplies to Syria.
