GENEVA. Feb 29 (Interfax) - The situation in Syria in general is not worsening, but it is getting worse for militants from the group Jabhat al-Nusra (banned in Russia), Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Wednesday.

"I don't think the situation is getting worse; it is only getting worse for terrorists from Jabhat al-Nusra," Lavrov said.

"Terrorism in Syria must be fully destroyed," he said.
