There are positive signs of progress in the Syrian crisis settlement process, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Friday.
"It is encouraging that there have been positive developments in the Syrian crisis. At least we all now agree that politico-diplomatic settlement through common national dialogue on the basis of the UN Security Council resolution has not alternatives," Lavrov said.
Opening an opening session with Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) ministers, Lavrov reiterated Moscow`s view that Monday`s intra-Syrian talks in Astana are "an important contribution to formulate parameters for a comprehensive political settlement in Syria which will continue in wider activities in Geneva in early February."
