Syrian Opposition Unsure on Geneva Peace Conference

HeadlineOct 23, 2013

Secretary of State John Kerry met with foreign counterparts in London on Tuesday ahead of a planned Syria peace conference next month in Geneva. Syria’s main political opposition has yet to agree on whether it plans to attend. Speaking to reporters, Kerry renewed calls for a negotiated solution to the Syrian conflict.

Secretary of State John Kerry: “The people who suffer the most are the Syrian people themselves, who are being driven from their homes and killed in the most wanton violence and who are having an increasingly profound impact on surrounding countries that are seeing their lives affected as a consequence of the outflow of refugees. This war will not come to an end on the battlefield. I believe, and I think most people believe, it will come to an end through a negotiated settlement.”
