AlHijjah 2, 1436, Sep 16, 2015, SPA -- Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon says his response to Russia's stepped up military support for Syria is that "there is no military solution" to the nearly five-year conflict and more weapons will only worsen the violence and misery for millions of people, according to AP. The U.N. chief again urged all parties, including the divided U.N. Security Council, to unite and support inclusive negotiations to find a political solution. Ban told a news conference Wednesday that he plans to meet with foreign ministers of the five permanent council nations the U.S., Russia, China, Britain and France on the sidelines of the General Assembly's ministerial session later this month to discuss Syria. -- SPA 22:03 LOCAL TIME 19:03 GMT تغريد
