Syrian Opposition Unsure on Geneva Peace Conference 
----------------------------------------------------


 
Secretary of State John Kerry met with foreign counterparts in London on
Tuesday ahead of a planned Syria peace conference next month in Geneva.
Syria's main political opposition has yet to agree on whether it plans
to attend. Speaking to reporters, Kerry renewed calls for a negotiated
solution to the Syrian conflict.

Secretary of State John Kerry: "The people who suffer the most are the
Syrian people themselves, who are being driven from their homes and
killed in the most wanton violence and who are having an increasingly
profound impact on surrounding countries that are seeing their lives
affected as a consequence of the outflow of refugees. This war will not
come to an end on the battlefield. I believe, and I think most people
believe, it will come to an end through a negotiated settlement."
