WASHINGTON
(Reuters) - Secretary of State John Kerry expressed U.S. concern in a
telephone call on Saturday with his Russian counterpart over reports of
Russia's enhanced military build-up in Syria, the State Department said.
"The secretary made clear that if such reports were
accurate, these actions could further escalate the conflict, lead to
greater loss of innocent life, increase refugee flows and risk
confrontation with the anti-ISIL coalition operating in Syria," the
department said, using an acronym for Islamic State.
Kerry and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov agreed
that discussions on the Syrian conflict would continue in New York later
this month, the department said.
