She noted that Russia takes a principled position on the ownership of the Golan Heights to the Syrian Arab Republic.
“Our assessment of the unlawful nature of the Israeli decision to extend its sovereignty to the Golan Heights, adopted as the main law in 1981, remains unchanged,” RIA Novosti quoted the diplomat
Earlier, US President Donald Trump said it was time to recognize Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights.
The Golan Heights is a disputed territory in the Middle East. Currently, most of it is controlled by Israel, while the smaller, eastern part is controlled by Syria.
