MOSCOW. May 21 (Interfax) - Forces which have failed to implement their plans to destabilize Syria, have turned to Lebanon which is trying to prevent a foreign intervention in Syria, the Russian Foreign Ministry said.
"Moscow is seriously concerned by growing internal tensions in Lebanon. It appears that the forces which have failed to realize their plans to destabilize Syria have turned to the neighboring Lebanon," the ministry said on its website on Monday.
"They clearly dislike this country's government course aimed at preventing foreign intervention in Syrian affairs and facilitating a swift peaceful settlement in Syria on the basis of Kofi Annan's plan approved by the United Nations Security Council, the actions of military and security agencies opposing the attempts at arms smuggling and militant trafficking," the ministry said.
