Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stressed Saturday that Russia alone cannot solve the Syrian crisis and that pressure should be exerted on both sides of the conflict.

Lavov noted that the crisis in Syria caused terrorism to emerge, stressing the importance of increasing the opposition delegation to Geneva II conference.

"Russia - and even the United States - can do nothing alone, but together we can. We have to be patient and follow the principle of sequence," he said.

"There is no need to alarms or threats regarding the chemical weapons disposal plan. Does this help? Surely not."

The Russian diplomat stated that his country believes the team efforts have led to the latest decisions about Syrian chemical weapons, holding Geneva II and the Iranian nuclear deal.

Lavrov also expressed that Russia effectively supports the dialogue opened in Geneva between the Syrian government and the opposition delegation.

"Syrians must get the help to determine the future of their country. We hope this political process will preserve the sovereignty of Syria and the unity of its land as a secular state that guarantees the rights of all sects and ethnic groups," he stated.

Moreover, Lavrov stressed that "the bloody conflict in Syria has turned this country to a stronghold for extremists and terrorists from across the world, and no one knows how will they use those skills upon arrival to their homelands.

Horrible acts they committed against christians and other minorities in the Middle East push towards pessimism."

The Russian official pointed at the necessity of forming a delegation that includes "all spectrums of the Syrian society to the International Conference."
