A Russian plan for political reform in Syria will not be a focal point of upcoming Vienna talks aimed at agreeing a roadmap to end the four-year war, Britain's UN envoy said Wednesday.
AFP reports that Russia circulated the eight-point plan that calls for elections after an 18-month constitutional reform process, following the last round of international talks in Vienna on October 30.
"We are aware of the Russian proposals," British Ambassador Matthew Rycroft told reporters.
"The eight-point plan itself is not central to the discussions in Vienna but Russia is," said Rycroft.
