The United States and Russia have agreed to push both sides in Syria
to find an end to the bloodshed, offering to hold an international
conference in search of peace. In talks which stretched late into the night, US Secretary of State
John Kerry met first for more than two hours with President Vladimir
Putin on Tuesday and then for a further three with Foreign Minister
Sergei Lavrov.
"We agreed that Russia and the United States will encourage both the
Syria government and opposition groups to find a political solution,"
Lavrov told reporters at a concluding news conference that ended after
midnight. Hopefully by the end of May the two ministers working together could
convene an international conference to build on the Geneva accord agreed
by world powers last June for a peaceful solution in Syria, they said.
I do not foresee anything concrete in the near future. Only when Russia completely declines to support Damascus will we see a worthy contribution moving forward!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the comments Khamadi, I also think so. Russia remains a vital ally to Syria and with the balance of power play..they would not want to cede easily to American pressure.
