MOSCOW. Oct 29 (Interfax) – The situation in Syria provides proof that Russia’s efforts to settle the conflict politically are correct, contrary to their American partners’ claims, said Russia’s ambassador to Syria, Azamat Kulmukhametov.

“Our American partners kept saying that we are on the wrong side of history. However, our entire policy and the latest developments in Syria, as well as steps taken under your leadership, demonstrated who are indeed on the right side of history,” Kulmukhametov said when President Vladimir Putin was presenting him with an Order of Courage.

He said a blow has been avoided in Syria. The Libyan scenario was prevented and the situation has been re-orientated to political settlement. Chemical disarmament has started, he said.

“This is not final victory, of course, and a great deal has yet to be done. A serious struggle is ahead. The embassy staff is counting on the attention and care it has been receiving from the country’s leadership,” the Russian ambassador said.
