The United States has no reason not to recognize the parliamentary elections in Syria that are currently underway in the country, Russian Foreign Affairs Committee head Alexei Pushkov said Wednesday.

"There are no reasons not to recognize the results of the elections," Pushkov said during a press conference in Moscow.

Earlier, the US State Department said Washington does not see the elections in Syria as being legitimate because they do not reflect the will of the Syrian people.

"The US statement in regard to the will of the people has no reasoning whatsoever," Pushkov added.

Comment: The US continues to pump out total nonsense, despite the people of Syria choosing and supporting Assad repeatedly.

"It's hard to see in any way how these can be credible elections when the regime continues to kill [its] citizens," Kirby stated. "The United States is unable to see how Syrian parliamentary elections can be credible amid the absence of citizens [who have fled]."
