Russia’s draft of Syria’s Constitution generalizes the proposals of the Syrian government and opposition groups over the past years, the Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said.

"The draft Constitution attempts to bring together and find shared points in those approaches that were outlined to us both by representatives of the government and representatives of the opposition, including all those present here, over the past several years," TASS cited Lavrov as saying.

Russia is not imposing its draft Constitution on anyone and the talk is about the proposals called upon to stimulate a discussion on this issue in Geneva, the Russian foreign minister said.

"We are convinced that it is time to stop arguing round and round the subject and it is necessary to focus on discussing specific issues, including the work on the Constitution," the Russian foreign minister said.
