There is no other alternative to the constitutional process in solving the situation in Syria, Vladimir Vasilyev, the deputy speaker of the Russian lower house, said Tuesday.

ALEPPO (Sputnik) — According to Vasilyev, it is crucially important that the Syrian leadership and the parliament have supported the idea of the constitutional process.

"We are sure that this process has no other alternative," Vasilyev said at a meeting with the Aleppo authorities headed by Governor Hussein Diab.
