   Russia defends arms sales to Syria   
      
   Moscow forcefully rejected on Wednesday Hillary Clinton’s accusation   
   that Russia was supplying Syria with helicopter gunships that could be   
   used against civilians, as Syria announced it had “cleansed” the rebel   
   town of Haffa of armed fighters.   
      
   Speaking in Tehran, Sergei Lavrov, Russia’s foreign minister, said   
   Moscow was instead “completing contracts that were signed and paid for   
   a long time ago. All of them are contracts for what are solely air   
   defence systems.”
