U.S. sees no possible military solution to Syrian conflict - Ambassador Tefft

MOSCOW. Jan 28 (Interfax) - Washington believes there can be no military solution in Syria, U.S. Ambassador to Russia John Tefft has said.

"We know that it is going to be difficult, but we think that a political solution is a way forward, that there is no fundamental military solution possible in Syria," he said in an interview with three Russian news agencies, including Interfax.

He also stressed that the U.S. supports the launch of the intra-Syrian talks in Geneva and hopes they will be successful.
