美国国务卿克里和俄罗斯外交部长拉夫罗夫星期四将在日内瓦举行会谈,讨论俄罗斯提出的消除叙利亚化学武器威胁方案。

克里和拉夫罗夫均未透露有关这项方案的细节。这一方案的要点是叙利亚总统阿萨德将其全部化武交付联合国销毁。与此同时,美国将搁置对叙利亚进行军事打击的计划。

会谈举行之前,俄罗斯总统普京在纽约时报发表评论文章,强调必须通过联合国进行运作,而不能单方面对叙利亚采取军事行动。

美国总统奥巴马指责叙利亚政府军上月在大马士革附近对平民使用毒气。他说,地中海海域的美国军舰继续停留在目前的位置,以迫使叙利亚当局执行协议。

克里曾经表示,达成消除叙利亚化武威胁的任何协议都将是“极其困难”的。
 

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov are meeting Thursday in Geneva to work on Russia's plan to end the threat posed by Syria's chemical weapons.  

Neither Kerry nor Lavrov have given any details of the proposal. It involves President Bashar al-Assad's government giving up all of its chemical weapons to the United Nations to have them destroyed. At the same time, the United States would set aside plans for a military strike.

Ahead of the meeting, Russian President Vladimir Putin stressed in a New York Times opinion piece the need to work through the United Nations and not conduct unilateral military action in Syria.

President Barack Obama has blamed Syrian forces for using poison gas against civilians last month near Damascus.  He says U.S. ships in the Mediterranean region are holding their current positions, to keep pressure on the Syrians to live up to any agreement.

Kerry has said reaching any agreement to remove the chemical-weapons threat in Syria will be "exceedingly difficult."
