Moscow says Syrian government to attend peace conference

The Syrian government has agreed to participate in a peace conference initiated by the United States and Russia, the Russian Foreign Ministry said Friday, dpa reported.

"We received confirmation from Damascus that the Syrian government is in principle ready to take part," spokesman Alexander Lukashevich was quoted as saying by the Interfax news agency.

A date for the conference has not been set because of the disparity among Syria's opposition, Lukashevich added.

"As long as there is no clarity about who will speak with which authority for the opposition, we cannot take demands seriously to form a concrete date," Lukashevich said.
