Syrian leader met Russia, Iran minister to end Civil war
Munich: In an attempt to open a window for a possible breakthrough to end Syria’s civil war, country’s opposition leader on Saturday met the foreign ministers of Russia and Iran.
Russia and Iran have been the staunchest allies of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad throughout an armed uprising, and any understandings they might reach with Assad’s foes could help overcome the two sides’ refusal to negotiate.
After a 45-minute meeting with Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi, Alkhatib told: “We agreed we have to find a solution to end the suffering of the Syrian people.”
He also met separately with US Vice President Joe Biden and UN special envoy for Syria Lakhdar Brahimi.
Alkhatib’s purpose in his meetings was “to discuss finding a way to remove the regime with the least possible bloodshed and loss of life,” he said.
