Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said compromise is needed to end Syria’s four-year civil war as Moscow hosted peace talks attended by Syrian government officials and some opposition groups.
Russia wants to see a “secular, prosperous” Syria where the rights of all are protected, Lavrov told representatives of both sides Wednesday at their third day of meetings. It supports inclusive national dialogue without preconditions to end a conflict that has drawn “terrorists of all stripes” to the country, he said.
