Geneva is currently hosting talks between the Syrian government's delegation and opposition. Three opposition delegations are taking part in the negotiations: the High Negotiations Committee (HNC), which was formed in Saudi Arabia in December, the delegation formed following talks in Moscow and Cairo and the group formed after opposition talks at Hmeymim air base in Syria.
