A trilateral meeting between Russia, the U.S. and the UN on a Syrian
settlement has started in Geneva involving UN and Arab League
envoy Lakhdar Brahimi, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister
Gennady Gatilov and U.S. Undersecretary of State
Wendy Sherman.
The diplomats arrived at the Palais des Nations. This morning's session of
negotiations betweeen the Syrian delegations was cancelled.
Russian diplomats also met today with a delegation of the Syrian
opposition. There were planned consultations between Gennady Gatilov
and the head of the National Coalition of Syria, Ahmed Jarba, but
the format of the meeting was changed since Jarba did not
come to Geneva.
