Secretary of State John Kerry has said the Syrian peace talks in January are the ‘best opportunity’ to form a transitional government.
Kerry was speaking shortly after UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon announced that Syria”s government and opposition would meet on 22 January in Geneva. According to the BBC, the United Nations, United States and Russia have been trying for months to get both sides to agree a political solution to the conflict. But there have been disputes over who should attend the talks in Switzerland. The government in Damascus has said there must be no pre-conditions to any peace talks. (ANI)
