    RUSSIAN FM OFFICIAL URGES UNSC MEET ON KASSAB ATTACK

    ALALAM, Iran
    April 1, 2014 Tuesday

    Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Gennady Gatilov has called for an
    emergency Security Council meeting to discuss the crimes committed
    by armed insurgent groups against the residents of Syrian Kassab city
    in Lattakia countryside, near the border with Turkey. Russian Deputy
    Foreign Minister Gennady Gatilov has called for an emergency Security
    Council meeting to discuss the crimes committed by armed insurgent
    groups against the residents of Syrian Kassab city in Lattakia
    countryside, near the border with Turkey. "An investigation should
    be conducted into the shooting on the Armenian residents of Kassab
    city by the gunmen," Gatilov wrote on his Twitter page, as quoted by
    Russia Today website. "It's necessary that the Security Council discuss
    that as soon as possible," he added. Foreign-backed militant groups
    launched a major assault against Kassab city in northern Syria with
    apparent support and artillery coverage from Turkish military forces.

    Following the deadly assault by the insurgents on Kassab, Syrian
    officials launched a protest with the UN, insisting that the
    government of Turkish Prime Minister Recep Teyyip Erdogan's had
    facilitated the entry of the armed militants into the Lattakia northern
    countryside. MB/MB
