Moscow calls on West to ‘seriously consider’ consequences of Syria threats
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleMoscow on Thursday calls on the West to “seriously consider” the consequences of threats against Syria after the US and France said they would respond to an alleged chemical attack.
“We call upon… members of the international community to seriously consider the possible consequences of such accusations, threats and especially action (against Syria),” Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova says.
“Nobody has authorized Western leaders to take on the role of global police — simultaneously investigator, prosecution, judge and executor,” she says during a press briefing.
“Our position is perfectly clear and defined. We are not seeking escalation.”
