Russian foreign minister to meet Syrian opposition on Thursday

Representatives from another group of the Syrian opposition, the Popular Front for Change and Liberation (PFCL), will visit Russia on April 26-27, RIA Novosti reports.

PFCL representative Qadri Jamil said that they have a scheduled meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Thursday, April 26. The Front also plans to hold a press conference on Friday in Moscow.

According to Jamil, PFCL leaders intend to discuss with the Russian side “the situation in Syria and around it, and how to start a dialogue inside Syria, which gives a unique opportunity to overcome the crisis by peaceful means.”

“This is the most difficult question. In this case, the issue is not in the dialogue, but in the way to reach it. We need a road map that will lead to dialogue,” Jamil is quoted by RIA Novosti as saying.
