NEW YORK. Sept 23 (Interfax) - The Syrian army is the most efficient of the forces fighting terrorists in Syria, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said.
"The main problem is the reluctance of some players to admit that no matter what you send to our friends in the opposition, the only, the largest, the most efficient force fighting ISIL and al-Nusra [both organizations banned in Russia] in Syria is the Syrian army," he told a press conference in New York on Friday.
