Tense three days await Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov of the Russian Federation in Munich. The Russian delegation arrived in the capital of Bavaria 11 February and immediately got off the plane, went to a meeting with US Secretary of State John Kerry.
Behind the closed doors of a Russian and an American colleague spent more than two hours, discussing primarily the Syrian agenda. Again, we were talking about the fate of Bashar al-Assad. The head of the Russian Foreign Ministry defends the position more than once sounded before: only the Syrian people can decide the fate of the country and its president.
Most of the time devoted to the negotiations in Moscow the proposal to cease fire in Syria.
According to Western media, we are talking about a truce on March 1. At the beginning of the talks the Russian Foreign Ministry confirmed the offer
-. We have made our proposals on a ceasefire, which are specific enough. We are waiting for the American response before making to the MTT (Syria international support group), – Lavrov said
A final decision has not been taken.. Not agreed and side views and about the Russian operations of VKS in Syria. Apparently Kerry relied to achieve the consent of Russia to stop bombing the positions of militants from the air. However, Lavrov refused.
– “This conversation is not over yet,” – he said his Russian counterpart Kerry at the end of the meeting, – said a source familiar with the contents of the meeting.
It seems that the differences between Moscow and Washington is not only not been resolved, but they became even greater.
After Kerry Russian minister took the EU High Representative for Foreign Policy Federica Mogherini. These negotiations, which lasted less than an hour, took place in a more friendly environment
The next Russian Minister received his Iranian counterpart -. Javad Zarif. It was followed by talks with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi
The Russian minister congratulated the Chinese counterpart to the beginning of the Chinese New Year and said that the work at any time – weekends, holidays, distinguishes Russian and Chinese diplomats .
But the most important event of the day was the meeting and the final MTT. For the first time after the failure of direct mezhsiriyskih negotiations between the delegation of official Damascus and two Syrian opposition groups (one group was formed on the basis of meetings in Moscow and Cairo and the other opposition formed in Riyadh – “News”), a little less than 20 representatives of countries met, to once again raise the issue of solving the Syrian crisis.
Earlier, the special representative of the UN Secretary General on Syria, Stefan de Mistura said that without the help of Moscow and Washington to allow virtually insurmountable differences of Damascus and the opposition will not succeed.
The meeting continued behind closed doors for more than four hours.
The next round of negotiations mezhsiriyskih scheduled for February 25.
