Kerry Says Syria could be 'Weeks Away' from Transition
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said Tuesday that Syria could be weeks away from a "big transition", following on from international talks in Vienna at the weekend.
"We are weeks away conceivably from the possibility of a big transition for Syria," Kerry said after talks with French President Francois Hollande in Paris.
Kerry said there was now a "genuine process with possibilities" to unlock the war in Syria, which has cost 250,000 lives over nearly five years.
"We have found a common agreement on principles (and) established a concept of giving life to a negotiation with Iran and Russia at the table, which is unique in the last four and a half years," Kerry said.
