Russia - calls for simultaneous ceasefire in Syria
Published on Mar 13, 2012 by Euronews
http://www.euronews.com/ Kofi Annan is awaiting a response from Syria to his proposals to end the bloodshed across the country.After meeting the president at the weekend, the UN-Arab League envoy has been talking to the opposition Syrian National Council.
There has been no indication, however, his initiative will lead to a breakthrough. That can only come according to Russia's Foreign Minister if Syrian government forces and their opponents stop the violence at the same time.
"This must be simultaneous, there can't be a situation where the government is called on to withdraw from towns and cities but not armed groups," said Sergei Lavrov at a news conference after talks with his Filipino counterpart.
Meanwhile, Syria's President Bashar al-Assad has set a date for multiple party parliamentary elections.
The May 7 poll will be the first under the new constitution approved by last month's referendum which has been rejected by those who have joined the uprising.
