UN-Arab League Syria envoy seeks political deal

Kofi Annan, the UN-Arab League special envoy on Syria, will urge government and opposition to halt violence and seek a political settlement after a year of conflict when he makes his first trip to Damascus next week, he said on Thursday.

 

"As I move to Syria, we will do whatever we can to urge and press for a cessation of hostilities and end to the killing and violence. The Syrian people deserve better. This is an ancient and brave people who are caught in the middle," Annan said after talks with the Egyptian foreign minister. (Reuters)
