MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Russia and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia could coordinate their positions on the Syrian civil war through meetings, the chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Saudi Consultative Assembly said in an interview with Sputnik.
"In reality, the Kingdom's position is clear and it has been announced. It has not changed. It has been clear since the very first statement and is still clear. Rapprochement [with Russia] may occur through meetings, but Kingdom's position is absolutely clear for all," Nasser bin Abdulaziz Dawood said.
Since the beginning of the conflict, Riyadh and some of its allies, including Washington, have been supporting the so-called moderate Syrian opposition, while urging Assad to resign.
Russia has been promoting a peaceful settlement of the Syrian civil war in an attempt to foster dialogue between the government and opposition factions.
