俄罗斯总统警告说,他所称的已经非常严峻的中东局势可能变得更糟。

俄罗斯总统梅德韦杰夫是在与叙利亚总统巴沙尔.阿萨德周二共同举行的记者会上说这番话的。此前他对大马士革进行了为期两天的访问。

梅德韦杰夫说,俄罗斯将尽其所能,帮助推动中东和平进程,但他批评他所说的缺乏政治意愿的观点。

这位俄罗斯领袖还说,他与叙利亚总统巴沙尔.阿萨德一致认为,美国可以发挥更积极的作用。

俄罗斯,美国,欧盟与联合国都是所谓的国际“四方”成员,他们一直在努力促进该地区的和平。

Russia’s president is warning that what he called a very bad situation in the Middle East could get worse.

Russian President Dmitri Medvedev spoke at a news conference Tuesday with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad following a two-day visit to Damascus.

Mr. Medvedev said Russia would do whatever it can to help advance the Middle East peace process but criticized what he described as a lack of political will.

The Russian leader also said he agreed with his Syrian counterpart that the United States could play a more active role.

Both Russia and the U.S. are members of the so-called international “Quartet,” along with the European Union and the United Nations, which has been trying to foster peace in the region.
