The Syrian opposition has agreed to attend a new round of UN-sponsored peace talks set for this week in Geneva, a spokesman told AFP on Monday.
The United Nations Syria envoy expects a staggered start to peace talks next week, with participants arriving over several days for "indirect meetings", he said in an interview with pan-Arab newspaper Al Hayat.
Britain said Monday that the UN-brokered peace talks on Syria being held in Geneva must lead to a political "transition away" from President Bashar al-Assad.
