Assad Officials Head To Moscow To Discuss End To Syrian Civil War -- NBC
BEIRUT -- Syrian President Bashar Assad dispatched senior diplomats to Moscow on Wednesday to discuss proposals made by international envoy Lakhdar Brahimi to end the 21-month-old conflict gripping Syria, Syrian and Lebanese sources said.
Syria's Deputy Foreign Minister Faisal Mekdad and Assistant Foreign Minister Ahmad Arnous flew early Wednesday to Moscow, airport officials in Beirut told The Associated Press. The men hope to sound out Russian officials on details discussed with Brahimi earlier this week in Damascus.
