Russia says not the time for Syria humanitarian resolution
Friday, 7 February 2014
UNITED NATIONS, United States, Feb 6 (AFP): Russia's UN envoy said Wednesday that Moscow opposes a UN Security Council Resolution demanding greater humanitarian access in Syria to those in urgent need of food and medical supplies.
Since negotiations between Syria and world powers halted Friday without concrete results, Western nations and some Arab countries backing the Syrian opposition have drafted a text they hope to bring before the council this week, diplomats said.
