MOSCOW, December 26. /TASS/. The Russian side is ready to assist the organization of undeniable and generally recognized elections in Syria, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated in an interview with domestic and foreign media outlets on Thursday.

"Russia is ready to support the consolidation of all processes in Syria and the organization of elections so that they are recognized by everyone and raise zero questions," the Russian foreign minister said. "We discuss this topic with Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Jordan, Egypt, Qatar, UAE, Bahrain, Lebanon. All these countries want to prevent Syria from repeating the path that the Libyan state took after NATO simply destroyed that state," he added.

The framework of the election campaign is yet to be agreed upon, Lavrov said. "All leading countries emphasize the need to make this process inclusive, so that Syrian people of all political and ethno-confessional groups can participate in the election campaign and in the elections themselves," he pointed out. "The process is not an easy one, but we are ready to facilitate it.".
