Press Releases: Readout of Secretary Kerry's Call With Foreign Minister Lavrov 09/15/2015 08:54 PM EDT Readout of Secretary Kerry's Call With Foreign Minister Lavrov Media Note Office of the Spokesperson Washington, DC September 15, 2015 Secretary of State Kerry spoke earlier today with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov about the ongoing conflict in Syria. Secretary Kerry made clear that Russia’s continued support for President Assad risks exacerbating and extending the conflict, and undermining our shared goal of fighting extremism if we do not also remain focused on finding a solution to the conflict in Syria via a genuine political transition. Secretary Kerry also reaffirmed the U.S. commitment to fight ISIL with a Coalition of more than 60 countries, of which Assad could never be a credible member, and emphasized the U.S. would welcome a constructive Russian role in counter-ISIL efforts. The Secretary stressed that there is no military solution to the overall conflict in Syria, which can only be resolved by a political transition away from Assad.
