Baku. Victoria Dementyeva – APA. The United States declared on Thursday that it has given up trying to work with the U.N. Security Council on Syria, accusing Russia of holding the council hostage and allowing Moscow's allies in Syria to deploy poison gas against innocent children, APA reports quoting Reuters.
U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Samantha Power said that after months of efforts on chemical weapons and after 2-1/2 years of efforts on Geneva (peace talks), the humanitarian situation is that there is no viable path forward in this Security Council: "Unfortunately for the past 2-1/2 years, the system devised in 1945 precisely to deal with threats of this nature did not work as it is supposed to. It did not protect peace and security for the hundreds of Syrian children who were gassed to death on August 21. The system has protected the prerogatives of Russia, the patron of a regime that would brazenly stage the world's largest chemical weapons attack in a quarter century while chemical weapons inspectors sent by the United Nations were just across town.”
"There is nothing in the pattern of our interactions with our Russian colleagues, that would give us any reason to be optimistic," Power said. She also added that the U.S. and its supporters try to force the Syrian president, to the negotiating table.
