Moscow
says to host Syria talks April 6
Representatives of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and opposition figures will
meet for peace talks in Moscow on April 6, three months after a meeting ended
without concrete results. The ministry spokesman did not specify which
opposition representatives and officials from Assad's government would attend
the talks. Deputy foreign minister Gennady Gatilov said this month that members
of Syria's exiled opposition National Coalition, which did not take part in the
first round of talks in January, were "considering coming to Moscow"
for the next meeting. Gatilov said the UN's Syria peace envoy Staffan de
Mistura would also take part in the talks. The Syrian government and some
opponents agreed to a list of ten points called the "Moscow principles."
Two previous rounds of talks in Geneva ended without success, the last of which
took place in February 2014.[AFP,
