Geneva II conference on Syria end with little progress

UN-Arab League Special Envoy to Syria Lakhdar Brahimi Tuesday said that little progress has been achieved since the start of the second round of Syria peace talks resumed one day earlier.

After today’s meetings, which was adjourned at noon after the envoy met with the two sides “simultaneously” this morning, Brahimi told a press conference that the negotiations were as “laborious” as the first round did.

“We are not making much progress. We will do our very best to make this process take off,” said Brahimi, appealing to speed up actions to make this process a reality and help lift Syria out of the mire.

The mediator stressed that to push forward the process requires both the cooperation from the two warring sides and the supports from outside.
