MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 29th October, 2018) Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov on Monday dismissed as false the accusations of Moscow allegedly creating obstacles for the formation of Syria's constitutional commission.

General Secretary of the Syrian Negotiation Commission Safwan Akkash earlier claimed that list of the third part of the constitutional commission comprising representatives of the civil society of Syria should have been compiled by the UN, "but it did not satisfied the Iranians, the Russians and the regime."

"This is not true. We do not decide anything [in this matter], on the contrary, we are just helping," Bogdanov told reporters, commenting on Akkash's statement.
