MOSCOW Cheap Air Max Vapormax Outlet , Sept. 11 (Xinhua) -- Russia will continue to send military equipment to Syria to help it with the fight against the Islamic State (IS) terrorist group, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Friday.

However, Western countries and their allies insist on the resignation of the country's president, Bashar al-Assad.
Lavrov clarified that what Russia supported in Syria was not Assad's regime but Damascus' struggle against the IS.
"We support the struggle of the Syrian state against the so-called Islamic State, which does not present any Islam and is not a state for that matter Cheap Air Max 2017 Outlet ," he said.
Lavrov said Moscow has always defended collective efforts based on international law, adding that he considered the Syrian army the most efficient and powerful ground force to fight the IS.
"We have been saying this from the very beginning of operations by the coalition led by our American colleagues, and we are still, better late than never, inviting its members to start cooperating with the Syrian government and the Syrian army Cheap Air Max Outlet ," Lavrov said.
