                UN Envoy Travels to Iran to Discuss Syria Crisis

   by VOA News

   The U.N.-Arab League envoy for Syria is in Iran as part of a regional
   tour aimed at building support for a peace conference in Geneva next
   month.
   Lakhdar Brahimi flew to Iran Saturday.
   His schedule calls for him to meet with high-ranking Iranian officials
   on the Syria crisis, including Foreign Minister Mohammad-Javad Zarif,
   and on next month's proposed conference in Geneva.
   Brahimi has previously called on Iran to participate in the so-called
   "Geneva Two" conference, which would be aimed at establishing a
   transitional government to run Syria and prepare it for democratic
   elections.
   Iranian officials have said they are willing to help settle the Syria
   crisis through diplomatic means.
   The conflict in Syria has killed more than 100,000 people and displaced
   millions more since it began in March 2011.
