Lavrov: Combating terrorism should be based on international law 08/11/2014 Beijing, SANA – Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said his country affirms terrorism should be combated in accordance with the international law. “Russia doesn’t see legal reasons not to cooperate with the Syrian Government in combating terrorism,” Lavrov said in a statement to the press following his meeting with his US counterpart John Kerry on the sidelines of a meeting for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum in Beijing . He criticized as “unilateral” the US method in dealing with the issue of combating terrorism, adding the US sees that the coalition should work without the approval of the UN Security Council or the Syrian government. Russia has repeatedly stressed that the international coalition’s airstrikes against the terrorist organizations in Syria should be based on the approval of Syrian government within the frame of an international consensus.
