[World Wide Web Reporter Zhao Jiandong] According to reports from Russian media such as RIA Novosti and Interfax, on October 13, local time, when Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov met with journalists from Arab countries in Moscow, he refuted the rumor that former Syria President Bashar al-Assad was poisoned in Russia, saying it was not true.

Lavrov said that Russia provided asylum to Assad and his family for humanitarian reasons, and that the allegations related to the poisoning were completely inconsistent and that he and his family came to Russia because of personal security threats, he lived well in Moscow, and there were no alleged poisoning incidents. If such rumors were spread again, the responsibility of the broadcaster would be investigated," Lavrov said.

At the end of last year, a dramatic change in the Syrian situation occurred, with the Armed Forces led by Ahmad Shahra announcing the ¡°liberation of Damascus and the overthrow of the Assad regime¡±, followed by the formation of a transitional administrative department and the Syrian Democratic Forces¡± led by the Kurdish armed ¡°People¡¯s Protection Forces¡±, which currently control large parts of northern and eastern Syria.

In March this year, the "Syrian * Forces" signed an agreement with the Syrian interim authorities, agreeing to integrate into state institutions, but the implementation of the agreement was not smooth. Recently, there have been small-scale conflicts between the two sides in Aleppo province and other places from time to time.
