| [PRESSTV] Iran, Russia and ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... have pledged to bring the Syrian government and opposition together for a "congress" to help them develop a lasting political solution to the ongoing conflict in the country. A joint statement published on the Russian Foreign Ministry’s website on the second day of Syrian peace talks in the Kazakh capital city of Astana on Tuesday, pointed to an "initiative of Russia" which listed 33 Syrian organizations invited to a "Congress of Syrian National Dialogue" in the Russian city of Sochi on November 18. Humanitarian issues, including exchange of the detainees, were also among the key issues on the agenda of the second day of the intra-Syrian talks in Astana, mediated by Iran, Russia and Turkey. During the talks, the Syrian government expressed preparedness to support political efforts aimed at reaching national reconciliation as well as possible amendments to Syria’s constitution. |
