Syria Talks End with Little Progress 
-------------------------------------


 
The second round of peace talks aimed at resolving the Syrian conflict
has ended in deadlock in Geneva. U.N. special envoy Lakhdar Brahimi
apologized to the Syrian people.

Lakhdar Brahimi: "I'm very, very sorry and I apologize to the Syrian
people that their hopes which were very, very high that something will
happen here. I think that the little that has been achieved in Homs gave
them even more hope that maybe this is the beginning of the coming out
of this horrible crisis they are in. I apologize to them that on these
two rounds, we have not helped them very much."
