“Will Help Syria” In The Event of a Military Strike,
Putin

The
alleged chemical weapons use in Syria is a provocation carried
out by the rebels to attract a foreign-led strike, Russian
President Vladimir Putin said at the G20 summit.
.
There was
no 50/50 split of opinion on the notion of a military strike
against the Syrian President Bashar Assad, Putin stressed
refuting earlier assumptions.
.
Only
Turkey, Canada, Saudi Arabia and France joined the US push for
intervention, he said, adding that the UK Prime Minister’s
position was not supported by his citizens.
.
Russia,
China, India, Indonesia, Argentina, Brazil, South Africa and
Italy were among the major world’s economies clearly opposed to
military intervention.
.
President
Putin said the G20 nations spent the “entire” Thursday evening
discussing the Syrian crisis, which was followed by Putin’s
bilateral meeting with UK Prime Minister David Cameron that
lasted till 3am Moscow time.
.
Russia “will
help Syria” in the event of a military strike, Putin
stressed as he responded to a reporter’s question at the
summit.
.
“Will
we help Syria? We will. And we are already helping, we send
arms, we cooperate in the economics sphere, we hope to expand
our cooperation in the humanitarian sphere, which includes
sending humanitarian aid to support those people – the civilians
– who have found themselves in a very dire situation in this
country,” Putin said.
.
Putin said
he sat down with US President Barack Obama on the sidelines of
the G20 summit and talked for about half an hour in “a
friendly atmosphere”.
.
Although
the Russian and the American leaders maintained different
positions regarding the Syrian issue, Putin said they “hear”
and understand each other.
.
Russian
Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and US Secretary of State John
Kerry will continue discussing the situation in Syria “in the
short run,” Putin said.
.
'A
dangerous precedent'
Both
presidents stressed that the situation in Syria could create a
dangerous precedent, but supported their points with contrasting
arguments.
.
Obama
stressed his “goal” and US “responsibility” was to
maintain international norms on banning chemical weapon use,
saying he wanted the enforcement to be “real.”
.
“When there is a breach this brazen of a norm this important,
and the international community is paralyzed and frozen and
doesn’t act, then that norm begins to unravel. And if that norm
unravels, then other norms and prohibitions start unraveling,
and that makes for a more dangerous world,”
Obama said.
.
Putin, on
the contrary, stressed that setting precedents of military
action outside a UN Security Council resolution would mean the
world’s smaller countries can no longer feel safe against the
interests of the more powerful ones.
.
“Small countries in the modern world feel increasingly
vulnerable and insecure. One starts getting the impression that
a more powerful country can at any time and at its own
discretion use force against them,”
Putin said, citing the earlier statement made by the South
African President.
Such practice (aggressive confrontational policies of the USA)would also make it much harder to convince North Korea to give up its nuclear program, Putin pointed out.

The
meeting of the leaders of the major world economies - G20 - took
place in St. Petersburgh, Russia. The participants of the summit
focused on economic issues during round-table talks, including
unemployment, the lack of global investment, and better
international financial regulation. While on the sidelines the
conversation shifted to the issue of the alleged chemical
weapons attack in Syria and the possibility of military action
in the war-torn country.
