USA Doesn't Support Armenian-Russian Cooperation for Humanitarian Mission in Syria: US Department of State

The United States recognizes the desire of other nations to respond to the humanitarian situation in Syria, and shares the concerns about protecting religious minorities in the Middle East, the US Department of State said in official response to Aysor.am’s question about the position of the United States on sending Armenian humanitarian mission to Syria.

"We recognize the desire of other nations to respond to the humanitarian situation in Syria, and we share the concerns about protecting religious minorities in the Middle East. However, we do not support any engagement with Syrian military forces, whether that engagement is to provide assistance to civilians or is military in nature," the response of the US Department of State, provided by US Embassy in Armenia says.

"Nor do we support any cooperation between Armenia and Russia for this mission.  Russia has partnered with the Assad regime to slaughter civilians and trigger a humanitarian catastrophe.  Russia continues to protect the Assad regime and its atrocities on a global stage," the response says.
