MOSCOW, March 17. /TASS/. Official representative of Russian defense Ministry major General Igor Konashenkov questioned the effectiveness of the international reports on the situation of the population in Syria.
“Similar reports on the situation in Syria, built on gleaned from social networks “testimonies” of the local “activists”, but rather harm the reputation of international organizations and influential media than help solve humanitarian problems in Syria, he said. In their publication too is clearly seen the desire of Western propagandists to quickly legitimize a garbage mountain of their own fakes and outright lies, which in the last year was spent colossal budgets”.
