MOSCOW (Sputnik) – The Syrian opposition High Negations Committee will not attend the meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, one of the leaders of the Moscow-Cairo opposition platform Qadri Jamil said.
Lavrov and members of the Syrian opposition are set to meet in Moscow on Friday, with the issue of forging a joint opposition delegation ahead of Geneva talks possibly on top of the meeting's agenda.
"No, the HNC did not come," he told reporters.
