MOSCOW. Feb 20 (Interfax) - The use of force cannot advance the settlement of the conflict in Syria, and both conflicting parties are coming to understand that the crisis should be resolved through dialogue, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said.
"As concerns the Syria conflict, one can come to the conclusion that any plan to settle it through the use of force by any party will not work," Lavrov said at the opening of the first ministerial session of a Russian-Arab League forum in Moscow on Wednesday.
