UN envoy to meet Turkey, Iran and Russia foreign ministers in Geneva

Reuters - U.N. Special Envoy for Syria Geir Pedersen said on Monday that he would meet foreign ministers from Turkey, Iran and Russia in Geneva on Tuesday, a day ahead of the first meeting of Syria�s Constitutional Committee.

Turkey�s Mevlut Cavusoglu, Iran�s Mohammad Javad Zarif and Russia�s Sergei Lavrov are due to meet in the Swiss city before the 150-member Syrian panel convenes under U.N. auspices.

�We do believe that the fighting going on is just another proof of the importance to get a serious political process under way that can help sorting out the problems in all of Syria, including the northeast and also Idlib,� Pedersen told a news conference.
