UN Special Envoy for Syria Staffan de Mistura said at a meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu on Thursday that the time has come to promote the political process in Syria.
“We are not only at the turning point of the Syrian crisis, but we also are at the end of the year, an important year,” he noted. “We recognize that now is the time for a genuine political process. That’s why I’m looking forward for these discussions.”
