ISTANBUL, April 17 (Xinhua) -- Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Wednesday said his country rejects military intervention in Syria, adding that Russia hopes to avoid any measure of military intervention in Syria in the forthcoming meeting of Friends of Syria in Istanbul.

Speaking at press conference following a meeting with Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu, Lavrov said "We do not struggle to change the regime. We don't support such activities but further dialogue between the regime and the opposition."

Lavrov warned that the Syrian tragedy will continue, the massacre will continue and the al-Qaida will emerge if the military intervention takes place.

Lavrov slammed the Friends of Syria group which gathers Western and Arab countries that reject the rule of President Bashar al- Assad as negative for dialogue.

He said "right now we see this process is making a negative contribution to the Geneva decisions," while referring to a 2012 accord among world powers in Geneva aiming at resolving the Syrian conflict through talks involving all parties in Syria.

or something. Nothing can happen without AMERICA intervening, by God.

that works.
