Moscow, SANA-Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Wednesday his country has instructed the US that in case Washington decides to direct airstrikes on terrorists’ sites in Syria without Syrian official approval, this will be considered as a flagrant violation of the international law.

“The Americans announce that they will bomb terrorists on the Syrian lands with no need of any approval… we have told them this will be a flagrant violation of the international law,” Lavrov said during a meeting with participants at the International Youth Forum of Seliger.

He added combating terrorism is a need, thanks God, the US has at last acknowledged that terrorists are in the front who fight against the Syrian Government, but in order to isolate those terrorists, the US has to coordinate with the Syrian authorities.
