Threats by Syrian powerful rebel groups against participants of Geneva-2 peace talks are “outrageous,” Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said.  The statement comes after 19 anti-Assad rebel groups refused to take part in the conference.

“It is outrageous that some of these extremist, terrorist  organizations fighting government forces in Syria are starting to  make threats,” Lavrov said. “The threats are directed at  those who have the courage to attend the proposed Geneva  conference being offered by Russia and the United States with the  entire world’s support.”  

  Lavrov has called on those who have influence on the Syrian  opposition to persuade them to attend.  

“Generally, the situation with Geneva-2 requires immediate  action by those who have influence on the opposition. A whole  range of issues arises due to the fact that this opposition is  split,” Lavrov said.  

  On Sunday, a total of 19 Syrian rebel groups fighting against President  Bashar Assad’s regime announced they would not take part in the  upcoming Geneva-2 peace conference, saying that that anyone who  attends the talks would be committing “treason” and   “would have to answer for it before our courts.”
