Russia has welcomed the decision of Syria’s government to dispatch a delegation to the January peace conference in Geneva, Switzerland, to negotiate a way out of the ongoing crisis with no pre-conditions, according to the Voice of Russia.
The statement was made today on the heels of the meeting between Syrian ambassador in Moscow, Riyad Haddad, with Russia’s deputy foreign minister Mikhail Bogdanov.
The Syrian government said on November 27 it was ready to go to the negotiating table without any prerequisites.
The meeting between the Syrian ambassador and the Russian foreign policy official zeroed in on the preparations to the Geneva-2 conference, which is slated for January 22.
