UNITED NATIONS, April 02. /ITAR-TASS/. The international community has launched preparation for the holding of a third conference on Syria ("Geneva-3"), UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon announced Tuesday.

He said the Geneva-2 process, started at the beginning of the year, did not bring the needed results.

Speaking at a press conference in Brussels, the UN chief said that the UN must mobilize the political will of the international community and that the Geneva-2 conference had not yielded much prospects. The UN is working hard on preparing a Geneva-3 meeting, Mr. Ban pointed out.
