Reuters has reported that an unnamed senior member of the Syrian Opposition Council has already rejected participating in any talks backed by Russia, which is seen as a traditional ally of the Syrian regime.
In a related development, France and Britain have announced that their foreign ministers will travel to the United Nations to speak on January 31 in support of a UN Security Council resolution on the Syrian crisis.
Veto-wielding Security Council member Russia has blocked previous Western efforts for a resolution threatening potential measures against Bashar al-Assad’s government over the violence against antiregime protesters.
