#Lavrov now: De-confliction b/n #Russia & #US in #Syria wotking wrll, when there's a need Americans turn to us for explanations of certain things and we do the same

#Lavrov now: When we intervened in #Syria in Sep'15 #ISIS wad at the gates of #Damascus. Not a single power that are today raising voices about humanity, rights, etc moved their finger to prevent #Daesh from almost capturing the city & making it the capital of their caliphate

#Lavrov on @realDonaldTrump tweet on #Idlib: #Trump's right-we need to avoid a humanitarian crisis there. That's what we always try to do w/ humanitarian corridors & other coverups for civilians unlike Americans,say,in #Raqqa who just ironed the city. Now they want to cover Nusra

#Lavrov on #Iran in #Syria: Attempts to lock such a big and old country within its border are just unprofessional. They will continue to have their interests. It's important though that these interests are legitimate. Saudis,Emiratis,Qataris too have their interests in the region

#Lavrov now: When we tell Americans show us facts of our interference,[other malign actovity], they say "you know everything yourselves." Like there was sm incident & I asked Tillerson show us facts,he goes-"ask your security services." It's not a conversation b/n serious people.

#Lavrov now: We respect American peoplw that's why don't try to sway their choice. Unlike those who oin the blame on #Russia - they don't respect their own people by saying we elected #Trump for #US

#Lavrov now: "Agreement with #US on expelling #Iran from #Syria? There're certain things we just don't bargain over. #Russia doesnt always sees eye to eye w/ Iran & #Turkey but we are united in desire to end the conflict & let Syrians themselves decide their future"

#Lavrov now: Have you spotted how #US started appealing to "return to rules-based order" rather than "international law"? What are these rules? US had a deal w/ #Iran then they say rules chabged and they pulled out of #JCPOA.Then how they manipulate use of dollar,is it fair rule?

#Lavrov now: #Russia has no secret agreements w/ any regional state over #Syria. Our end game is clearly reflected in #UNSC Resolution 2254 which we together w/ #US, other regional powers negotiated back in the day.
