Peskov: Consensus on holding Syrian National Dialogue Congress soon

Moscow, SANA – The Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov affirmed that there is “stable consensus” on holding Syrian National Dialogue Congress soon and with broad participation including representatives of all parties in Syria.

Commenting on the joint statement made by the Russian, Iranian and Turkish presidents at their meeting in Sochi on Wednesday, Peskov stressed that this is “not a protocol of intentions but an absolutely clear position.”

“There is a stable consensus that the Congress will be convened soon, this will happen after an intense work at the expert level on agreeing on the list of participants of this Congress,” Peskov said.

“Obviously, this list should be inclusive to the maximum extent as a viable formula of political dialogue may be ensured only due to the participation of the broadest representation of all (groups) in Syria,” he added.
