MOSCOW, May 10 (Reuters) - Russia has no plans to sell Syria an advanced air defence system, its foreign minister said on Friday, denying media reports that it planned such a sale.

Itar-Tass news agency quoted Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov as saying Russia would be fulfilling contracts it has already concluded with Damascus but that this did not include sales of the S-300 system.
