  • Story Text:The Syrian government delegation led by Syrian ambassador to the United Nations in New York Bashar al-Ja'afari, arrived on Sunday (July 9) in Geneva, ahead of a new round of U.N.-sponsored peace talks aimed at finding a political solution to the conflict in Syria, which entered its seventh year in March and in which more than 400,000 people are estimated to have been killed.
    This is the seventh round of peace talks resuming in the Swiss city, and these indirect talks are resuming while Russia and Iran, which back President Bashar al-Assad's government, and Turkey, which supports some of the rebels, failed in talks in Astana on Wednesday (July 5) to finalize an agreement on creating four de-escalation zones in Syria after Ankara raised objections.
