U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov met Wednesday in a bid to create momentum for Syria peace talks to kick off as planned next week.
Negotiations between Syria's regime and part of the opposition are tentatively scheduled to begin on January 25 in Geneva to seek an end to a conflict that has claimed more than 260,000 lives since it began nearly five years ago.
"We will see. We will see," Lavrov said at a Zurich hotel where the meeting was taking place, after being asked whether the talks would go ahead as planned.
He stressed though that "it's mostly for (U.N. envoy Staffan) de Mistura, not for us" to say.
Kerry did not comment Wednesday, but on Tuesday his spokesman acknowledged a lot of work remained to ensure that the talks go ahead
