Syria peace effort on track as delegates gather in Sochi
Tehran (KNA) - A new round of peace talks between the Syrian government and the opposition aimed at solving the country's crisis begins in the Russian Black Sea resort of Sochi on Monday.
United Nations Special Envoy for Syria Staffan de Mistura will be attending the Congress of National Dialog along with some 1,600 people representing a wide range of Syria's political forces.
Moscow said on Monday the absence of some representatives of the Syrian opposition will not be a serious setback for the conference."The fact that some representatives of the processes currently ongoing in Syria are not participating is unlikely to stop this congress from going ahead and can not seriously sabotage it," Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told reporters.
