(VOVworld) – Syria is willing to meet the opposition in a Russian brokered meeting scheduled for late next month in Moscow, said Syria’s Foreign Ministry on Saturday. The meeting aims to resume peace talks to seek a way out of the nearly four-year civil war. "Syria is ready to participate in a preliminary and consultative meeting in Moscow to respond to the aspirations of Syrians who are trying to find a solution to the crisis," the foreign ministry official said, quoted by SANA state news agency. "The Syrian Arab Republic has always been ready for dialogue with those who believe in its unity, sovereignty and freedom of choice," the official added.

Earlier, the Russian Foreign Ministry said Moscow planned to host delegations from the Syrian opposition in late January, possibly followed by a visit by regime representatives that could bring the two sides together for talks.
