Russia-US-UN meeting on Syria kicks off in Geneva

Russia-US-UN meeting on Syria kicks off in Geneva

YEREVAN, JULY 26, ARMENPRESS. A trilateral meeting on Syria in the Russia-U.S.-UN format begins in Geneva on July 26. Participants in it are expected to discuss the problems related to the promulgation of peace settlement in war-torn Syria, reports TASS.

"We are set for fruitful work with our partners and we hope we’ll manage to make a step forward in the pan-Syrian talks," Gennady Gatilov, a Deputy Foreign Minister leading the Russian delegation told TASS.

Paul Patin, the spokesman for the U.S. Mission to the UN Office in Geneva told TASS the U.S. will be represented by the U.S. President’s special envoy for Syria, Michael Ratney.

UN Secretary General’s special envoy for Syria Staffan de Mistura will attend the meeting, too. His press secretary Jessie Shahin said on Monday he had received an invitation to the meeting from the co-chairmen of the Syria International Support Group in order to discuss the situation and the opportunities for promoting a political process there.

The agenda of the talks, as well as the time and place are kept confidential. Shahin said mass media are not invited to cover the meeting.

She indicated the current meeting is not the first meeting in this format and the previous two meetings were also held behind closed doors.

Paul Patin said, on his part, the organizers of the talks do not envision any contacts with the media. It appears that all the participants are avoiding publicity and have no interest in releasing any details on the talks.
