The delay with setting a date for the next round of intra-Syrian talks in Geneva is caused by Syrian Opposition’s High Negotiations Committee (HNC) ultimatums, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Tuesday.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) — The latest round of intra-Syrian talks took place in Geneva on April 13-27. The Riyadh-formed HNC walked out of the negotiations, citing the continuous fighting in Syria and the lack of progress on humanitarian issues.

"They [HNC] have got up and left [intra-Syrian talks] and [UN Special Envoy for Syria Staffan] de Mistura alowed this, though we asked him to organize the next round of talks before Ramadan. He is now going to do so in two weeks or even after Ramadan, and this is only because of the fact that these temperamental people are giving their ultimatums," Lavrov said on the kp.ru website’s live feed.
