Brahimi: Still No Date for Syria Peace Talks
[An Nahar] World powers failed Tuesday to set a date for a hoped-for Syria peace conference in Geneva, U.N.-Arab League...an organization of Arabic-speaking states with 22 member countries and four observers. The League tries to achieve Arab consensus on issues, which usually leaves them doing nothing but a bit of grimacing and mustache cursing... envoy Lakhdar Brahimi said after meeting with senior diplomats. "We were hoping that we'd be in a position to announce a date today, unfortunately we're not," Brahimi told news hounds. "But we're still hoping that we'll be able to have the conference before the end of the year," he said, adding he would meet again with U.S. and Russian envoys on November 25.
