Mediator proposes Feb. 10 for 2nd round of Syrian peace talks; govt not ready to accept
GENEVA – U.N.-Arab League mediator Lakhdar Brahimi has suggested Feb. 10 as the return date for continuing the peace talks between Syria’s warring sides.
Brahimi told reporters Friday that the opposition has accepted the date but the government wants to discuss the matter in Damascus before agreeing to it.
At the end of the first face-to-face meetings between Syria’s two sides, Brahimi said he sees some positive steps and common ground but the gaps between the sides “remain wide.”
He called the week of meetings “a modest beginning, but it is a modest beginning on which we can build.”
