MOSCOW. April 21 (Interfax) - Syrian Ambassador to Russia Riyad Haddad thinks that Saudi Arabia and Qatar have to change their position on the Syrian settlement.
"You are perfectly aware of the opinion of the Gulf countries, especially Saudi Arabia and Qatar. They have to change their policy regarding Syria," Haddad said at a meeting in the Federation Council on Friday.
Turkey and Jordan also maintain an anti-Syrian stance, he said.
