Russian FM Lavrov press conference following UNGA speech (Streamed live)

Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s answers to media questions following the ISSG meeting, New York, September 22, 2016

Question: What has happened?

Sergey Lavrov: Nothing has happened; we will continue consultations.

Question: Can you review the results of the meeting?

Sergey Lavrov: We will continue our work to provide for the observance of the ceasefire – you can call this results. Some of our partners attempted to influence the Syrian Government into taking unilateral steps. We insist on and find support for the idea that the opposition should act as well, but in such a manner as to prevent Jabhat al-Nusra and ISIS from taking advantage of this situation. In my opinion, we have a general idea of this, but the details still have to be clarified.
