NEW YORK, October 31 (RIA Novosti) - The final draft of the UN resolution on Syria is not ideal but workable, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Monday. "The final text of the resolution on Syria is not ideal, but we can use it as a basis for future work," he said after the vote at a UN Security Council session in New York.

The Russian minister said that in the final text the Security Council members eliminated the provisions allowing the committee on investigation of the murder of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri to conduct "unprecedented procedures" in relation to suspects.

He also said the provisions of the resolution were mandatory for all countries, especially for Syria.
