Russia Supports Holding Next Round of Intra-Syrian Talks on May 30
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Russia favors next round of the intra-Syrian talks to be held on May 30, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov said on Wednesday.
On Tuesday, a Syrian opposition source said that the next round of the Syrian proximity talks would take place on May 30 in the Swiss city of Montreux.
"We would like [the talks to be held on May 30], because we support the idea of accelerating the political process in order to save time," Bogdanov told Sputnik.
According to the official, the Russian side is waiting for the announcement on the issue from UN Special Envoy for Syria Staffan de Mistura.
Bogdanov had earlier said that the talks would resume no earlier than after the holy month of Ramadan, which ends on July 5 this year.
