BELEK - UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said on Sunday he welcomed the renewed sense of urgency to find a solution to the civil war in Syria after the Paris attacks, adding the world had a "rare moment" of diplomatic opportunity to end the violence.
Russia, the United States and powers from Europe and the Middle East outlined a plan on Saturday for a political process in Syria leading to elections within two years, a day after gunmen and suicide bombers from Islamic State went on a rampage through Paris, killing at least 129 people.
At a news conference during the Group of 20 (G20) meeting of world leaders in Turkey, Ban said the Syria roadmap agreed on Saturday was 'encouraging and ambitious' and urged its implementation as quickly as possible to pave the way for a nationwide ceasefire in Syria.
