Russia Says Has New Plan to End Syria War

Sergey Lavrov says in an interview with the daily Moskovsky Komsomolets published Tuesday that the plan is specific and simple, but does not provide details, the Associated Press reported.

Lavrov is set to meet with U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry on Thursday in Munich.

He blamed Turkey, saying it had fueled the conflict by providing militants with weapons and supplies, and buying oil from them.

Russia is a close ally of Syrian President Bashar Assad's government and has been waging an air campaign on its behalf since September 30.
