US diplomats’ calls for military solution in Syria are shocking — ministry

The calls for a military solution to the Syrian conflict by a group of US diplomats are shocking, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told reporters on Wednesday.

"We could not help being surprised and shocked by the fact that employees of the US Department of State signed a letter that a military scenario of an attack on Syria, a military scenario of solving the Syrian problem should be implemented," she said. "We were shocked by this, because it was signed by diplomats, that is, the people who should deal with the peaceful political settlement."
