SYRIA: Syria to cement Russia ties

Syria will rely on its partnership ties with Russia to respond to sanctions imposed on it by the European Union. 

Foreign Minister Walid Mual said on Monday that the EU had made a big mistake by blacklisting Syrian President Bashar Assad and that Damascus would respond by cementing national unity and speed up implementation of the much-needed reforms.

Mual blamed what he described as “foreign-backed armed terrorist groups” for fomenting the recent wave of anti-government violence across the nation.
