Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov says Moscow is ready to provide military support to the Free Syrian Army in its fight against the Islamic State (IS) group in Syria.

The Free Syrian Army is the main Western-backed opposition group battling to overthrow Syrian president Bashar al-Assad.

"We are ready to also support patriotic opposition, including the so-called Free Syrian Army, from the air," Mr Lavrov told the Rossiya 1 television channel.

"The main thing for us is to approach the people fully in charge of representing these or those armed groups fighting terrorism among other things," he said, according to a transcript released by the state-controlled channel.
