Russia urges Arab League to let Damascus rejoin
RUSSIAN Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov called yesterday for Syria to be readmitted to the Arab League as part of efforts to end the civil war in the country.
“The fact that the Syrian government, a legitimate member of the UN, can’t take part in the discussions in the Arab League, doesn’t help in the pursuit of this process,” Mr Lavrov said.
“I believe that the Arab League could play a more important, a more effective role, if the Syrian government were part of this organisation.”
