Russia and EU disagree about war in Syria

United States yesterday denied Thursday that the protest in Syria movement leads to a civil war, thereby rejecting the comments made by the Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Sergueï Lavrov, and responsible to the Syrian regime over the violence in that country.

The "methods" used by the opposition against the regime of President Bashar Al-Assad-Syrian at risk of plunging the country into the "civil war", he considered yesterday Thursday Lavrov.

But United States estimated that this "is a wrong impression," said Mark Toner, Deputy spokesman journalists of the Department of State.

For Washington, "is the regime of Assad who is carrying out a campaign of violence, intimidation and repression against innocent protestors," said Toner. "We do not consider that as a civil war", he insisted. Lavrov statements occurred a day after the 'army free SIRIUS', an armed force of u000aopposition, perpetrated an attack on a center of the Syrian secret service, near Damascus.

According to a senior official of the Department of State, speaking under anonymity, the comments of Russia support the regime Asad's propaganda stating that uprisings are led by thugs and terrorists.
