The Russian Ambassador to Lebanon, Alexander Zasypkin, stressed on the necessity of solving the internal problems of Syria via dialogue, stopping violence and doing fast reforms for the sake of the Syrian public.

"We refuse any foreign interference in the Syrian interior, and if any resolution were to be taken at the Security Council in favor of interference, it [resolution] would, in our opinion, expand internal conflicts," said the Ambassador who met with the Lebanese Foreign Affairs Minister, Adnan Mansour, at the latter's office.
