Not all Syrian opposition reps ready to participate in Geneva II - Russian Foreign Ministry

GENEVA. Nov 25 (Interfax) - Not all the representatives from the Syrian opposition are ready to participate in the Geneva II peace conference, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Gennady Gatilov said.

"Certainty not yet," Gatilov told reporters when asked whether all Syrian opposition representatives were ready to participate in the conference.

A period prior to holding the Geneva II conference "is specifically needed so that the opposition comes with a united delegation," Gatilov said. "We support one delegation," the diplomat said.
