On Thursday, the United Nations Security Council failed to secure enough support to push through a draft jointly sponsored by the UK, France and the United States to adopt a resolution against Syria over its government crackdown on political activists. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, who was in Oslo meeting with his counterpart, declared that the conflict should be resolved by political means and warned against adopting biased resolutions by the UN that would take into account the interests of one of the sides of internal conflicts.
At the UN Security Council, the Russian Foreign Minister declared that 'The Security Council and the international community have already gotten entangled in the Libyan situation', and that Russia was attempting to prevent a similar scenario in Syria.

Today, 'informed sources in Damascus' have also alleged that the unrest witnessed in Syria is a result of intense efforts by the Turkish government in collusion with the Muslim Brotherhood. It is important to note here that Bashar al-Assad's father General Hefez Assad ordered the massacre of between 30,000-40,000 of his own people, many of them believed to be members of the Muslim Brotherhood. He ordered the bombing of an entire city, Hama, because of its anti-Baath party criticism.
