Moscow declares inadmissibility of smuggling arms to Syria

The diplomats note that recently the media has been citing instances when weapons are transferred to the Syrian opposition via the territory of Libya, Turkey and Lebanon.

"Recently Swiss television aired a feature on the Syrian opposition using hand grenades manufactured in Switzerland. There is also information about deliveries of anti-tank grenade launchers and portable air-defense units from Libyan territory to the rebels," said the Russian Foreign Ministry.

The diplomats stressed that the weapons are particularly dangerous when falling into the hands of Syrian militants linked to international terrorist and extremist networks.
