MONTREUX, January 22. /ITAR-TASS/.

Laurent Fabius added that at the Geneva II conference, it ought to strive for signing an agreement on an interim government endued with all the necessary executive powers. “Such a government should be formed on the basis of mutual consent of the parties,” the minister stressed.
