Moscow expects Syrian opposition to form negotiating team

LONDON. March 14 (Interfax) - Moscow expects that the Syrian opposition will set up a team for talks with the Syrian government, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has said.

"Both the government and the opposition should set up their negotiating teams. The government has done that and now we are waiting for the opposition to do the same," he said at a Wednesday press conference in London.

"We expect that those who are working with the opposition like us will be urging for it to form such a team of negotiators as soon as possible," Lavrov said.
