Syria authorities 'agree to talks'
Syria has agreed to take part in Moscow-mediated talks on solving the country’s crisis, the Russian Foreign Ministry said today, calling on the Syrian opposition to join the planned negotiations.
However, a senior member of the Syrian opposition council said that no invitation had been received from Moscow and that it would be refused anyway.
Moscow, a permanent United Nations Security Council member with veto powers, has offered to host the talks in an effort to end the bloodshed since protests began 10 months ago against president Bashar al-Assad.
“We have received a positive response from the Syrian authorities to our call (to hold talks in Moscow),” the Foreign Ministry said in a statement on its website www.mid.ru.
“We hope … that the Syrian opposition will agree to that in the next few days, putting the interests of the Syrian people above all other concerns.”
