An Official Source at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said yesterday that Saudi Arabia has denounced strongly and been astonished greatly by a statement issued by the Commissioner of the Russian Foreign Ministry for Human Rights on the Kingdom, which is a blatant interference, unjustified in any case in the Kingdom's affairs and simultaneously contrary to political and diplomatic principles and rules. Denouncing this statement, which the Kingdom's Government considers as hostile, it reminds the Russian official that the Kingdom has been keen on respecting the rules of legitimacy and sovereignty and independence of States, and it has distanced itself from interfering in their internal affairs, including its keenness on non-interference in the affairs of Russia, and its policies in dealing with unrest within its borders, which has claimed the lives of many victims. The Kingdom hopes that the issuance of such a strange statement does not aim to distract attention from the brutal and heinous massacres committed by the Syrian regime against its people with the support of known parties that impede any sincere efforts to save the blood of the Syrian people.
