The Kremlin calls for a more careful attitude to reports about the alleged US proposal to recognize the legitimacy of Syrian leader Bashar Assad should Moscow agree to restrain Iranian influence in Syria
MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 03rd June, 2019) The Kremlin calls for a more careful attitude to reports about the alleged US proposal to recognize the legitimacy of Syrian leader Bashar Assad should Moscow agree to restrain Iranian influence in Syria, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Monday.
"I would not run ahead now. I want to urge everyone to be very careful about the subject, let's say, filter various disinformation and fakes, which will most likely be actively fed into the information space," Peskov told journalists when asked to comment on reports about the conditions for the recognition of Assad.
Earlier, the Saudi edition of Asharq Al-Awsat, citing Western diplomatic sources, reported that the United States and Israel intend, at a trilateral meeting in Jerusalem, to offer Russia recognition of Assad's legitimacy and the lifting of sanctions from the Syrian authorities if Moscow agrees to restrain Iranian influence in that country.
