Russian President Vladimir Putin has called U.S. sanctions against Syria illegal.
According to him, American restrictions cause problems and exert pressure on the SAR government.
“Sanctions bypassing the UN add problems, they are also illegal. Given the pressure that sanctions exert on this country (Syria), we need to concentrate our efforts and take measures aimed at helping the country”, – Vladimir said.
The Presidents of Russia, Iran and Turkey on Wednesday hold a video summit on Syria. The face-to-face meeting was to be held in Tehran, but was postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic.
