Russia said on Wednesday it would not let Western powers sabotage Geneva accord to end the escalating conflict in Syria.

Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov accused Western states of fomenting violence by openly supporting the armed opposition and said Russia expected a formal answer within a matter of days on whether they backed the accord wich was reached by international countries in Geneva at the end of June.

"What was accomplished in Geneva should not be sabotaged," Lavrov told reporters while on a a visit to Belarus.

"We will be trying to get an answer from our (Western) partners within literally the coming days about whether they support what they signed off on in Geneva."

"If so, why are they not taking measures to implement it?" Lavrov demanded.
