Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov warned on Friday that the smallest “miscalculation” in Syria could lead to new waves of migrants.
Even small acts could lead to “a lot of other developments that aren't at all needed, either by us or our European neighbors, and can only gratify those who are protected by an ocean," he told a news conference.
Ultimatums and threats do not help the dialogue in the war-torn country, said the minister.
Moscow and the United States are using their channels of communications on Syria, he added.
Lavrov also hoped that there would be no repeat of the experience of Libya and Iraq in the Syria conflict.
"God forbid anything adventurous will be done in Syria following the Libyan and Iraqi experience," he stressed.
International outrage erupted this week in wake of the Syrian regime’s chemical attack against the town of Douma in Eastern Ghouta that left at least 40 people dead over the weekend.
The United States, France and Britain had said that they will not let the attack go unpunished, raising fears over a strike against the regime.
Russia has dismissed the chemical attack as fake and strongly warned the US and its allies against launching a military strike.
Tensions have mounted further when Russia vetoed earlier this week a US-drafted resolution at the United Nations Security Council demanding that the perpetrators of the attack be identified.
The German government on Friday said it would do all it could to maintain political pressure on
Russia over the suspected use of chemical weapons in Syria, government spokesman Steffen Seibert said on Friday.
He said there was "serious evidence" that pointed to use of such weapons in violation of international law, and said Germany remained in close touch with the US and other allies over how to respond.
Foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Adebahr said Germany agreed with its allies that the use of chemical weapons must not go unpunished.
She said it was clear that not all chemical weapons had been destroyed in Syria in a process that began in 2013.
A fact-finding mission from the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons is expected to head to Douma on Saturday.
