Syrian Opposition Member Hopes Talks in Geneva to Start in Few Days
MOSCOW (Sputnik) – One of the leaders of Syria’s parliamentary opposition called on the United Nations on Monday to speed up the launch of a postponed dialogue between Syrian government and opposition members.

"We urge Ban Ki-moon to accelerate ‘Geneva-3’ and to revise issues with forming the Syrian opposition delegation to break the deadlock of ‘Geneva-2’," Qadri Jamil told reporters at the Rossiya Segodnya International Information Agency.

Jamil, whose Popular Front for Change and Liberation holds five seats in the Syrian legislature, said UN special envoy for Syria Staffan de Mistura was responsible for announcing the start of first intra-Syria talks.
