PARIS. — UN-Arab League peace envoy Lakhdar Brahimi yesterday urged Syria’s warring parties to hold talks “without preconditions” and said he hoped negotiations could take place in Geneva in late November.
In an interview with French-language television channel TV5 Monde, Brahimi also expressed deep frustration with the stalled Syria peace process, admitting he feels like resigning from the post.

World powers are urging Syria’s regime and opposition to take part in the long-sought peace talks, which are aimed at launching a political transition to end the country’s civil war.

The opposition has said it will not negotiate unless President Bashar al-Assad leaves office, but Brahimi said the condition would have to be set aside. —AFP.
