VIENNA. May 17 (Interfax) - Some members of the International Syria Support Group (ISSG) view Jabhat al-Nusra, a group banned as a terrorist one in Russia, as a tool to deter the Syrian regime, which is dangerous, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said.
"Jabhat al-Nusra is being seen as a means to deter the incumbent regime. This is a dangerous turn of events," Lavrov said at a press conference following an ISSG meeting in Vienna on Tuesday.
