(23 Feb 2016) Russia's deputy foreign minister says he expects UN-sponsored peace talks between the Syrian government and opposition to resume in days.
Gennady Gatilov said at UN headquarters in New York on Tuesday that what is needed now is implementation of the US-Russia agreement on a cessation of hostilities set to begin at midnight Friday, Syria time.
"With political will", Gatilov said, "we can achieve great results."
UN envoy Staffan de Mistura had set February 25 for the resumption of talks after they were suspended earlier this month.
Gatilov said de Mistura is working on reviving the talks and "we are talking days, more than weeks."
