‘New level’ Syrian govt & opposition talks in Astana tense but promising – Russian envoy
The Syrian government and rebels have taken a new “sensible” path in negotiations, said Russia’s representative in the Kazakh capital, Astana. He predicted a “good outcome” for the two-day peace conference, while admitting that direct talks remain unlikely.

Good day!
Sergey Lavrov met with representatives of the Syrian opposition in Moscow today.
#Lavrov: We hope that the #UN will not procrastinate with the next round of the intra-Syrian talks. We also believe that it is time to stop moving in circles. It is time to focus on practical issues in compliance with the agenda outlined in Resolution 2254, including work on the constitution. There is much idle talk about the draft constitution that was circulated at the Astana meeting. I would like to clarify the matter again, hopefully, for the last time. The draft we presented was an attempt to bring together and identify the common elements in the ideas expressed by the Syrian Government and the opposition, including those who are present here, over the past few years when we maintained contact and tried to find a way out of the Syrian crisis.

Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Maria #Zakharova held weekly Press Briefing.
🔹Tackling the issues related to the format, the way the Syrian state will be organized, the way it will exist and develop is not #Russia’s objective. This task belongs to the Syrians themselves, various representatives, opposition groups, the official authorities and so on http://tass.com/politics/927636
🔹It is important to make sure that #Syria’s new сonstitution does not become an even greater bone of contention. We are not offering any forms of organization for the Syrian state. We raise issues that require discussion with the Syrians. The time has come to put the draft сonstitution into the hands of the opposing sides instead of assault rifles
🔹The recent ruling by #Lithuania’s Court of Appeal sentenced Russian citizen Vladimir Razvodov in absentia to 12 years in prison for the crimes allegedly committed by him in 1991. We regard this decision as a continuation of #Vilnius’s flawed policy aimed at using justice for executing a political order http://tass.com/politics/927645
