Kerry Raised Issue of Assad's Fate at Recent Talks in Moscow - Lavrov

22 July 2016, 11:49 GMT

MOSCOW (Sputnik) — The latest round of UN-mediated talks in Geneva on April 13-27 ended with a walkout staged by the High Negotiations Committee (HNC) opposition delegation. The group formed in Saudi Arabia said it would take part in negotiations only if conditions for their success were created. The UN has said it would not arrange intra-Syrian negotiations without the HNC.

"I appeal to all those with influence to end the fighting and get talks started, a political transition is long overdue…the future of Syria should not rest on the fate of a single man [Assad]," Ban said.
