NEW YORK (UN). Oct 25 (Interfax) - Moscow stands ready to further help foster dialogue between Damascus and the Kurds, Russian Permanent Representative to the United Nation Vasily Nebenzya said.
"We are ready to continue helping the Syrian authorities and the Kurds build their broad dialogue to deal with urgent issues," Nebenzya said at a UN Security Council meeting on the humanitarian situation in Syria on Thursday.
"It is impossible to resolve the issue linked with the aspirations of the Kurds, who are an integral part of Syria's multiethnic society, without restoring the Syrian government's control over the entire national territory and the border," he said.
The problem of Syria's northeast did not appear yesterday or today, he said, adding that destabilization there is the result of "a dangerous demographic engineering experiment which was undertaken there in an attempt to pit the Kurdish population against the Arab population."
"We proceed from the premise that Syria should eventually be freed from any illegal foreign military presence. A sustainable and lasting stabilization and a solution to Syria's humanitarian problems can be achieved only if the sovereignty and territorial integrity of this country is observed," he said.
