Syria war: Lavrov seeks talks with 'full spectrum' of opposition
Speaking at the start of talks in Vienna on Friday, Mr Lavrov said: "Our common position is that we need to boost efforts for the political process in the Syrian settlement.
"This foresees the start of full-scale talks between representatives of the Syrian government and the full spectrum of the Syrian opposition, both domestic and external - with the support of outside players."

Saudi Arabia’s foreign minister, Adel al-Jubeir, said following the meeting that divisions remains about the future of Mr. Assad, who met with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow on Tuesday.
“There still remain some gaps with regards to the departure of Bashar al-Assad and the timing of such a departure,” Mr. al-Jubeir said. “We will continue such conversations perhaps with a broader range of countries in order to see if we arrive at a consensus on the way forward for Syria.”
“The fate of the Syrian president must be decided by the Syrian people,” Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said in Vienna on Friday after announcing the agreement with Jordan.
Speaking in Berlin on the eve of the meeting, European Union foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini emphasized Russia and Iran’s role in finding a political solution for Syria.
“If Russia can engage with the regime, as well as the Iranians can do, pushing them to start or be part of a political transition, this is only going to be positive,” Ms. Mogherini said.
