The upcoming International Syria Support Group (ISSG) meeting may not result in the final document, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said Monday.





MOSCOW (Sputnik) — There are "no guarantees" that the upcoming International Syria Support Group (ISSG) meeting would result in adoption of any final document despite the fact that Moscow is working out the ideas for such a paper, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said Monday.
"I do not think that now, at the stage, when the event has not even started, we can speak about any decision or any decisions. We are working out the ideas for the potential outcome document, but there are no guarantees that such final paper will be shaped, agreed and adopted," Ryabkov told reporters.


Some specifications to the existing agreements between Moscow and Washington and previous decisions of the ISSG could be made at the meeting, but not necessarily in the form of any document, he added.

The Austrian capital of Vienna is expected to host the next ISSG ministerial meeting on Tuesday.

The ISSG, co-chaired by Moscow and Washington, was formed in November 2015, shortly after the beginning of the Syria peace talks, as a panel of countries seeking to end bloodshed in Syria. The European Union, the Arab League, China, Iran, Turkey, and the United Nations are also members of the group.
