U.N. Security Council to Meet on Syria This Month
[An Nahar] The five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council are set to discuss the deteriorating situation in Syria at a meeting at the end of January, a Russian diplomat said Monday.

Russia's Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mikhail Bogdanov, told the Interfax news agency that the meeting is likely to take place as Lakhdar Brahimi, the U.N.'s peace envoy to Syria, presents a new report on the situation in the country.

Bogdanov said the meeting would be held "before the end of January, around the 25th, 26th, 27th."

Although he did not go into details of the participants, he said a ministerial meeting was unlikely.

"It will be on a vice minister level," he said.
