Russia’s Deputy Foreign Minister Gennady Gatilov, at least, added that the resolution on Syria will not include an “automatic trigger for hailing Chapter 7″ of the UN Charter and that there is the need for another resolution in case that the Syrian government will fail (or even cheat) to comply with its obligations to eliminate and destroy its chemical weapons stockpiles.
