MOSCOW, Oct. 10 (MNA) � Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said that Moscow does not see any signs that the US is fighting the Al-Nusra terrorist group in Syria.


Moscow "doesn't see any facts that the US is seriously battling Al-Nusra [now known as�Jabhat Fateh al-Sham]," Lavrov said in�an interview to�Channel One Russia on�Sunday.

He said that American fighter jets return to�their air bases with�unspent ammunition. The jets make a lot of�flights but�their efficiency is very low, about�15-20%. Washington even called on�Moscow to�cease bombing runs in�Aleppo, because "there are also allegedly representatives of�the "moderate opposition," who are surrounded and have nowhere to�go except�to Al-Nusra," he said.
These calls are suspicious, the minister said. According to�Lavrov, Washington officials ask, "So don't touch Al-Nusra, because it is not humane in�relation to�the normal guys, and we will fight Al-Nusra later." But "this �later' never comes. They promised to�separate these normal guys from�Al-Nusra back in�February," he added.

At the same time, Lavrov said that the US Secretary of�State John Kerry denied any "hidden intention to�preserve this terrorist organization and to�bring it out�from under�the strikes in�order to�make it the main force to�overthrow Syrian President Bashar Assad at�some point." "Under the pressure of�such conversations the Americans declared that they killed one of�the Nusra Front leaders," he said claiming that it was "a separate, isolated case" that does not reflect the real US policy.
"After the administration of�Ronald Reagan created al-Qaeda, and the administration of�George W. Bush created Daesh we would not like�the administration of�Barack Obama to�go down�in history as�the one which reinforced and ensured the success of�another terrorist organization called Nusra Front," the minister continued.

However, "Obama has repeatedly told Russian President Vladimir Putin that he stands for�a political solution to�the crisis," Lavrov said.
