Russian State Duma may send a parliamentary delegation to Syria to meet with a broad circle of representatives of political forces

MOSCOW, February 24 (Itar-Tass) — Russian State Duma  may send a parliamentary delegation to Syria to meet with a broad circle of representatives of political forces, the chairman of the State Duma’s committee for international affairs, Dmitry Pushkov, said at a news conference on Friday.

Pushkov recently visited Damascus. “I received an invitation from the Syrian parliament for a visit of a Russian parliamentary delegation that I will hand over to the State Duma leadership and faction leaders.

“I think that if the trip does take place, which would be expedient, we could try to meet with the broadest possible circle of participants,” Pushkov said.
