Syrian opposition ready for peace talks

The Syrian opposition on Thursday said an adequate basis had been set for ‘substantive’ peace talks when the parties meet at the UN later next month.

The opposition delegate Basma Kodmani, speaking after meeting the UN Special Envoy Staffan de Misturea, said,

“Out of these two weeks we come out with feeling that we have perhaps laid the basis for substantive talks in the next round.”

The UN special envoy said on Thursday that the target start date for the talks would be April 9.
