Revealed diplomatic circles of Moscow and close to the Russian Foreign Ministry that the battle of Syria has become the battle of Russia. Has left the decision to defend Damascus by warships.

Russian diplomatic sources confirmed the arrival of a group of Russian warships to the Syrian ports. This step is important and assume two things; first anti-aircraft weapons, sea air missiles and sophisticated equipment to monitor air and sea movements. Secondly, and more importantly it carries the message crucial to the Russian all concerned, that we decided that the battle of Syria is the battle of Russia, and that our decision is clear and certain is the defense of Damascus.

And explain the same circles after her reconnaissance of the situation between the two capitals of Syrian and Lebanese, that the matter was the subject of research and consultation at the highest levels in Moscow over the past few weeks; First we have historical reasons, related to our relations old and close to Syria and its rule and policies in the region for decades. It is known by us in Russia, we are committed to our principles and deflected it. Second, we have our reading of the global geo-strategic realities, and this blockade, which Washington is trying to beat us, from the heart of Europe and borders in the face of dynamic network missiles there, even Central Asia. The issue seems to us like a full restore American atmosphere that prevailed among us half a century ago. Just because Washington realized the loss of a single polarity global parameters of the Cold War returned immediately between us. Then we have our third strategic, political and economic development in the Mediterranean. We no longer have a foothold here except for in two States: Algeria and Syria. It is a grave mistake to alienate any of them, especially in Syria, the state of each adjacent central issues of the Middle East and Levant, as well as touching on issues of strategic in Eurasia after us and our southern border.

And adds the Russian diplomatic circles: We have a fourth reason security is directly linked to our priorities; that work to counter the terrorist extremist religious fundamentalists, seeking to prevent the arrival to power in countries that concern us, or those that surround us. Because this is a direct threat to our national security.

The face of these movements, where, like a Russian national internal, can not be careless about the risks or ignore its implications. All of these reasons were discussed in Moscow in the last period, especially after the «wrong», which we signed it in Libya. I realize President Dmitry Medvedev this error, is the question of Libya in his charge directly and exclusively. He has learned his lessons and lessons, especially as Prime Minister Putin had warned him of the Russian policy in Tripoli. After falling in August 20 last, we have intensified consultations, driven by Putin, and especially of the architect of our policy in the region Yevgeny Primakov and ended with our decision to defend Syria.

And reveal the same circles that this resolution has been reported in the last few days over connections presidential elections at the highest level between Damascus and Moscow, before adding, in reference to the banner and faint, but he told coupled with Batman Rossi on the Syrian leadership that helps us in the task of defending it, in order to facilitate this task and Ihsnha . This explains the Russian successive receptions for delegations from the Syrian opposition in Moscow. According to the same sources: So far we received four delegations of Syria and the opposition. We discussed with the Syrian clear in our policy, the need for reform in Damascus. Dialogue is the only way to it. They also told us what we perceive as red lines, not for foreign intervention in Syria, not to the use of violence by any party, nor to the survival of the situation for what it is. What Burhan Ghaliyoun for he did not convince us did not convince him correctly, but we believe that the time will help us to bring the views, especially the help of Damascus to us through the steps of an actual, concrete, and this is necessary, because we frankly vulnerable to Western pressure and the U.S., particularly in terms of our position on the events in Damascus.

Pressure, of course, diplomatic, political, media, and can not exceed these limits. What if transcended? When we made our decision, we have studied all the possibilities. If the increased U.S. pressure, all possibilities are open. May think of the return to Cuba, with all what that means at the strategic level, we have voluntarily given up huge potential we had there, allow us to monitor and Washington from the window background. If things are more complicated, you may think of return for this abandonment. To Vietnam, you may think about the future policy of the different point of our existence which, of course, in coordination with Beijing, especially in light of our excellent relations with China. European pressure less burdensome for us. Can be addressed through dialogue, as we did and do with Paris, even the Turkish pressure began to consider how to address it or even address them. At a certain stage there may be a reflection in a clear message to the rulers of Ankara, that the recall for example, that the PKK leader Abdullah Ocalan was for a certain guest in Moscow, and remember the most is that he had such hospitality on Putin was responsible for a Russian intelligence , KGB ...

In this context, known as the West - says the same circles - "We are heading into a new phase in terms of power in Moscow. On 4 December, after only a few days, we have the legislative elections. On 4 March 2012 will be our presidential elections. In the first of May the new president receives his tasks constitutional, it is recognized that Vladimir Putin is a return to the Kremlin. These are facts that everyone read it carefully. "

MOSCOW, (SANA)- Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov called for halt in using ultimatums with Syria.

During a press conference, at the conclusion of his discussions with his Icelandic counterpart, Ossur Skarphedinsson, in Moscow on Tuesday, Lavrov said "It is important now to stop using ultimatums with Syria as the Syrian issue can't be solved through the ultimatums resorted to by some countries including the members of the Arab League (AL)."

He added "We hope that our friends at the AL, with whom we have strategic relations, will adhere to the rules of the AL in order to take the suitable decisions and that they will shoulder responsibility towards what is taking place in their region and will take into consideration the interests of their people and the interests of the stability, security and cooperation."

Lavrov stressed that the provocations in Syria are not practiced by the Syrian official authorities as much as they are practiced by the armed opposition, indicating that gunmen are severely torturing the civilians and this is what can be clearly applied to the acts of the armed groups which provoke for sabotage and unrest more than it can be applied to the acts of the authorities.

"All the countries who have an influence on these groups in Syria should exert more efforts to force them to stop violence," Lavrov said, indicating that this is applied to the attitudes of the official authorities as it has become a pressing need after the armed groups have become active in Syria and they still have connections with a large number of the Arab and Western countries as they encompass foreigners and they are supplied with weapons from abroad.

He pointed out that all the countries including those who demanded acts against Syria have adopted a different stance towards Yemen, describing the demands and calls for imposing embargo on Syria as "dishonest", adding that Moscow will benefit from the experience in Libya.

He affirmed that the UN report which says that the Syrian authorities have perpetrated crimes against humanity is not considered an official viewpoint of the UN and it only reflects the opinion of the representatives of the UN Secretariat, indicating that the UN stances are announced by its official bodies, particularly the Security Council and the General Assembly.

BEIJING, Nov. 29 (Xinhua) -- International organizations including The United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) should play their due constructive roles in helping calm ongoing unrest in Syria, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman said Tuesday.

A commission authorized by the UNHRC accused the Syrian government of violating human rights Monday, while Damascus defended its handling of the situation, saying armed groups were responsible for violence in the country.

Hong Lei, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman, told a regular press conference that China had noted the report released by the Independent International Commission of Inquiry on Syria.

Whether or not the United Nations and its security council take further actions on the Syria issue should be determined by whether such actions could help ease the problems, push forward political dialogue on the issue and promote peace and stability in the Middle East, Hong added.
