MOSCOW (Sputnik) – A delegation of the Syrian National Coalition, led by Khaled Khoja, held a meeting with Lavrov in Moscow earlier on Thursday.
"Lavrov called on the leadership of the National Coalition to take an active part in talks between representatives of a wide range of Syrian opposition groups aimed at developing a constructive platform to launch a dialogue with the Syrian government," the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
The talks in Moscow were part of a broad international effort to end the four-year civil war in Syria, which killed about 250,000 people and forced more than 4 million to flee the country.
