UN Welcomes Intra-Syrian Talks Held in Moscow
MOSCOW (Sputnik) — A Syrian government delegation has agreed to the proposals set forth by Russian mediators during the second round of talks held in Moscow this week to resolve the Syrian civil war, a source familiar with ongoing negotiations told Sputnik on Wednesday.

"The agenda proposed by the Russian side and approved by Syria includes: first, assessing the current situation. Second, uniting national forces to confront challenges including terrorism. Third, building trust between the opposition and civil society," the source told Sputnik.

In addition, the source said Moscow's plan outlines the establishment of a political process as well as phased steps in the framework of a national reconciliation program.

A previous round of intra-Syrian talks took place late January and yielded the so-called Moscow Principles outlining a political platform for national reconciliation.

On Tuesday, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon's spokesperson welcomed the ongoing talks, the first attempt to resolve the Syrian conflict in over a year since a conference in Geneva failed to yield results. The Syrian civil war has resulted in over 220,000 deaths and forced many millions to flee their homeland since its start in 2011.
