Russia says Syria needs dialogue, not sanctions
Russia expressed opposition to sanctions against Syria's government on Friday and said it needs more information about a French proposal for "humanitarian corridors" in the country before taking a position.    

"At the current stage, what is needed is not resolutions, not sanctions, not pressure, but internal Syrian dialogue," Foreign Ministry spokesman Alexander Lukashevich told a weekly news conference.    

He spoke as Syria faced a Friday deadline to sign an Arab deal allowing monitors into the country or incur sanctions over its crackdown on protests including halting flights, curbing trade and stopping deals with the central bank.    

Lukashevich spoke cautiously about the French proposal for "humanitarian corridors" to alleviate suffering. "I think we will return to this question when more clarity emerges about what specifically is being discussed," he said.
