(MENAFN) UN-sponsored peace talks between the Syrian government and opposition are to get under way in Geneva for the first time in nearly a year.
The meeting follows weeks of difficult negotiations in preparation.
Staffan de Mistura, the UN's special Syria envoy, said on Wednesday he was "not expecting a breakthrough".
The opposition is insisting that the fate of President Bashar al-Assad is on the agenda - something the government has refused to discuss.
