Syrian opposition delegation in Moscow
Russia urged opponents of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad on Tuesday to hold talks with the government, hoping to secure a peaceful resolution to months of violence without abandoning its support for the isolated leader, the Russian sources report.
In high-level talks in Moscow, the main Syrian National Council opposition group responded by urging Russia to join growing international calls for Assad to step down, Russia's Interfax news agency reported.
