Ammon News - AMMONNEWS - Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir said on Tuesday Riyadh's position on the conflict in Syria has not changed and that there was no place for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in the future of the country.
He was speaking after talks with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in Moscow, a long-standing ally of Assad in the conflict, amid a renewed diplomatic push to end the conflict in Syria because of gains on the ground by ISIS.
Lavrov said Russia was still disagreeing with Saudi Arabia on Assad's future. He said "early details" of how to coordinate international efforts to fight ISIS have started to emerge.
He said Moscow and Riyadh agreed that international players should join ranks to counter the militants who control swathes of Syria and Iraq.
