Moscow calls for investigating arms contraband to Lebanon

The reports also proved infringement upon international decisions and the attempts to wreck the peaceful settlement in Syria

MOSCOW, May 24 (Itar-Tass) — Moscow urges the U.N. Security Council to investigate reports on weapons contraband to Lebanon to deploy them to Syria, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Alexander Lukashevich said on Thursday.

“We do not hurry to draw conclusions. But reports should be studied thoroughly, including by the U.N. Security Council, because they tell us about gross violations of Resolution No 1701,” the diplomat stressed.

He noted that the reports also proved infringement upon international decisions and the attempts to wreck the peaceful settlement in Syria.
