Israeli Justice Minister slams Russia for sending arms to Syria

PanARMENIAN.Net - Israeli Justice Minister Tzipi Livni on Friday, May 17, criticized Russia for sending arms to the Syrian regime, stating that "the transfer of arms to Syria is clearly not positive and does not contribute to the stability of the region."

"Israel has the right to defend itself," Livni said, according to The Jerusalem Post.
