FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda The representatives of Russia, China, the United States, Britain and France along with Turkey, Qatar, Kuwait and Iraq began the meeting at the United Nations office on Saturday.
The participants in the Geneva meeting were convened by the UN-Arab League envoy to Syria, Kofi Annan.
On June 27, some UN diplomats said Annan has proposed the formation of a Syrian transitional government that could include supporters of President Bashar al-Assad and opposition members.
The proposal was expected to be one of the main points of focus during the Geneva meeting.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on June 28 that the future of the Damascus government should be decided by a “Syrian dialogue by the Syrian people themselves,” adding that Moscow could not support solutions for Syria “dictated from abroad.”
Lavrov also stated that Russia supports the idea of a “transitional period” in Syria, which would be discussed in Geneva.
“We support changes which work towards national agreement on all questions of overdue reform.”
However, a senior US official, whose name was not mentioned in the reports, said on Saturday that the discussions of Geneva “remain challenging.”
“We need a plan that is strong and credible, so we may get there, we may not,” the US official said.
Syria has been experiencing unrest since March 2011.
On February 4, Russia and China vetoed a Western-backed draft resolution on Syria at the UN Security Council. The two countries rejected the draft as “unbalanced.”
Moscow and Beijing also vetoed a European-drafted UN Security Council resolution against Syria on October 5, 2011.
