03-08-2015 09:54 PM

Ammon News - AMMONNEWS - State department said Secretary of State John Kerry will hold a meeting with his Saudi and Russian counterparts Adel Jubair and Sergey Lavrov to discuss Syria and Yemen.

Earlier, Russia criticized U.S. plans to provide together with Turkey air cover for Syrian rebels, saying any support for rivals of Russian ally Syrian President Bashar al-Assad hampered Damascus' fight against ISIS.

Ankara and Washington are hoping that together with the Syrian rebels they would sweep ISIS fighters from a strip of land along the Turkish border.

"Moscow has stressed multiple times that helping Syrian opposition, let alone helping with financial or (military) technical means, would lead to a further destabilization of the situation in the country," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters.
