Moscow, SANA – Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson made a telephone conversation, discussing ways to eliminate terrorism in Syria and step up international efforts to facilitate the political settlement process in the country, the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Thursday.

Lavrov stressed that it was unacceptable to politicize the work of the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW)-United Nations Joint Investigative Mechanism and its report on Khan Sheikhoun chemical attack incident.

The Ministry added that the two sides stressed the need to support political settlement process while “ensuring the country’s territorial integrity and boosting the nationwide dialogue in accordance with the United Nations Security Council Resolution 2254.”
