              Annan Warns of Disaster Without End to Syria Crisis

   by VOA News

   United Nations envoy Kofi Annan has warned that failing to resolve the
   crisis in Syria could bring unimaginable consequences.
   He spoke Tuesday after talks with Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar
   Salehi in Tehran as part of an effort to rescue his peace plan for
   Syria.  Iran is Syria's top ally in the region.
   Annan said the Iranian government has cooperated with his efforts and
   he looks forward to continuing to work with Tehran toward a peaceful
   solution.
   "If we do not make a real effort to resolve this issue peacefully, and
   it were to get out of hand and spread to the region, it can lead to
   consequences that none of us could imagine," he said.
   Annan held talks Monday with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, and said
   the two men agreed on a new approach to ending the violence.
   Some information for this report was provided by AP and AFP.
