Kerry Warns Russia On Syria

ABC: US secretary of state John Kerry has warned Russia against its plan to provide Syria with long-range surface to air missiles, saying it would jeopardise any attempt to hold peace talks.

Mr Kerry made the comments at a news conference with Germany’s foreign minister, Guido Westerwelle, ahead of a preparatory meeting in Geneva next week on a joint US-Russian bid for talks to end Syria’s two-year civil war.

Mr Kerry says the delivery of missiles would have a “profoundly negative impact” on the balance of interests and the stability of the region.
