28 December, 2012

俄罗斯敦促叙利亚政府履行承诺，与反对派进行谈判。俄罗斯正在为争取结束叙利亚21个月冲突加紧进行外交努力。

俄罗斯外交部长拉夫罗夫星期五说，他在本星期早些时候的会谈中敦促叙利亚高级官员展示就撟罟惴旱囊樘鈹进行讨论的意愿。

俄罗斯一直是叙利亚总统阿萨德的坚定支持者，但近几个星期看来开始对叙利亚政府在冲突中的作用失去耐心，这场冲突已经导致大约4万5千人死亡。

星期五早些时候，俄罗斯外交部副部长波格达诺夫对俄罗斯国际文传通讯社说，莫斯科已经向叙利亚全国联盟发出会谈邀请。很多国家已经承认这个主要的叙利亚流亡反对派组织是叙利亚人民的合法代表。

Russia is urging the Syrian government to follow through on its pledge to hold talks with the opposition, as Moscow intensifies diplomatic efforts to bring an end to 21 months of conflict in Syria.

Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Friday he urged senior Syrian officials during meetings earlier this week to demonstrate they are open to discussing the "widest possible range of issues."

Russia has been a staunch defender of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, but has in recent weeks seemingly grown impatient with the government's role in the conflict that has left an estimated 45,000 people dead.

Earlier Friday, Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov told the RIA Novosti news agency Moscow has sent an invitation for talks to the Syrian National Council, the main exiled opposition group recognized by many as the legitimate government of Syria.
