Russia circulates resolution on Syria in UN

PanARMENIAN.Net - Russia has circulated in the UN an updated version of its own resolution on Syria.

The resolution condemns the ongoing violence in Syria but does not open the door to any sanctions. Instead, it calls for "an inclusive Syrian-led political process," according to CNN.

"It's important to work fast, but also it's important not to make mistakes," said Vitaly Churkin, the Russian ambassador to the UN.

UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon met with Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Moualem earlier this week at UN headquarters in New York. A statement put out by Ban's office said that he "reiterated his call for an end to violence and for a genuine process to fulfill the legitimate aspirations of the people for comprehensive political change."
