      Russia Will Not Oppose Departure of Syria's Assad


      Russia will not oppose the departure of Syria's President Bashar Assad if such a move is a result of a dialogue between Syrians themselves and is not enforced by external factor said Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Saturday. "If the Syrians agree (about Assad's departure) between each other, we will only be happy to support such a solution," Lavrov told reporters. "But we believe it is unacceptable to impose the conditions for such a dialogue from outside."
