Moscow: Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said Monday Russia will not support the use of force against Syria at the United Nations, speaking about President Bashar al-Assad in sympathetic terms.“What I am not ready to support is a resolution (similar to the one) on Libya because it is my deep conviction that a good resolution has been turned into a piece of paper that is being used to provide cover for a meaningless military operation,” he said.
Speaking in an interview with the Financial Times whose full transcript was released by the Kremlin early today, Medvedev referred to a March vote at the UN Security Council which paved the way for a military operation in the North African country.”Russia will use its Security Council permanent member rights,” he said, referring to any proposed resolution on the use of force against Syria.
