[(Title)] Washington’s policies in Syria lead world towards edge of the abyss, says diplomat.

MOSCOW, September 13. /TASS/. US actions in Syria are leading the world to the brink of an abyss, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told a news briefing on Thursday.

俄罗斯外交部发言人玛利亚·扎哈罗娃周四在新闻发布会上说，美国在叙利亚采取的行动正将世界推向深渊的边缘。

"We see the current events involving Syria as an attempt by the Americans to test a new mechanism of maintaining their own world supremacy," she said.

她说:“我们认为，目前涉及叙利亚的事件是美国人试图测试一种保持自己世界霸权的新机制。”

"Its gist is to create some kind of strike coalition of the leading western powers with the aim to demonstrate force and determination to press for military solutions of problems emerging in this or that part of the world."

“其要点是建立某种西方主要大国的联盟，目的是展示武力和决心，以军事手段解决世界这个或那个地区出现的问题。"

Zakharova said that "a policy like this undermines the existing world order, which has up to now relied on the UN Charter."

扎哈罗娃说，"这种政策破坏了现有的世界秩序，而这种秩序迄今一直依赖于《联合国宪章》。"

"Its aggressive nature is obvious. It is our deep conviction that this approach capable of putting the world on the brink of an abyss, is a dangerous challenge not only for Syria," she said.

她说："这个联盟的侵略性质是明显的，我们深信，这会将世界推向深渊的边缘，也是一项不仅仅是针对叙利亚的危险的挑战。

"It is necessary to resist it (such an approach by the United States)," Zakharova said. "It should be done in the most resolute way through pooling efforts by all reasonably minded members of the international community.".

扎哈罗娃说："必须抵制（美国的这种办法），"国际社会所有有理智的成员应共同努力，以最坚决的方式做到这一点"。
