Russia could attend Geneva conference on Syria on certain terms - Lavrov

MOSCOW. June 15 (Interfax) - Russia could take part in an international conference on Syria in Geneva on June 30 on certain terms, said Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.

It could, if the conference brings together the right participants and if it centers on ways to facilitate political dialogue instead of predetermining Syria's future political set-up, he said at a press conference in Moscow on Friday.

"If these two conditions are observed we will attend the conference by all means. But our interests must be observed, because they are not egoistic interests, but a committed position," Lavrov said.
