Date for 3rd Syria meeting in Moscow not set so far - Syrian representative

MOSCOW. Aug 27 (Interfax) - The Russian side is laying the groundwork for the third round of inter-Syrian consultations in Moscow, but no date for such a meeting has been set yet, People's Council of Syria member Faisal Azzouz has said.

"Our Russian friends are creating the necessary atmosphere to make 'Moscow-3' successful, even more successful than the previous [meetings]. However, a date for it has not been set yet," he told a press conference in Moscow on Thursday.

"With certain reservations, 'Moscow-1' and 'Moscow-2' were useful and positive," he added.

Today it is necessary to "overcome these shortcomings and hold a large number of meetings and consultations," he said.
