MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Speedy elimination of a terrorism hotbed in Syria is vital for the normalization of the situation in the war-torn country as well as in the Middle East in general, the Russian Foreign Ministry said Monday.

"We are certain that a quick elimination of a terrorism hotbed on the Syrian soil is a priority task in the process of the normalization of the situation both in Syria and in the Middle East in general," the ministry said in a statement.

The ministry stressed that triple blasts near Damascus on Sunday were an attempt by Daesh terrorists to derail proximity talks between the Syrian opposition and the government in Geneva.

At least 70 people were killed and some 100 injured in three blasts near a Shiite shrine in the Sayyidah Zaynab on the southern outskirts of Damascus.
