Participants have agreed to further work on solving the crisis, Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said, adding that there are "some interesting ideas" that have been discussed.
DETAILS TO FOLLOW "There are some ideas that we discussed today in a circle of pretty powerful countries, that might affect the situation," Lavrov said following the Saturday meeting in the Swiss city, as cited by RIA Novosti. The talks' participants have agreed to continue working on the issue in the following days, "hoping for certain agreements" to help move the peace process forward, he added.
The negotiators also urged for a political process to start in Syria "as soon as possible," Russia's top diplomat said, adding that Moscow wholly supports this initiative.
Representatives of nine countries took part in Saturday's talks which lasted some four hours. Middle Eastern regional powers were represented by Iraq, Iran, Egypt, Jordan, Qatar, UAE and Turkey. The US delegation was led by Secretary of State John Kerry, while UN special envoy for Syria Staffan de Mistura was also present at the talks.
