Putin stressed that an external intervention on Syria was unacceptable, and referred to the current political situation in Libya, saying, "Libya used to have the highest life standards in the region. There is a war in Libya for the country's natural resources. The clashes continue between tribes. We are certainly concerned that the same situation could occur in Syria."
