GENEVA (Reuters) - A proposed conference to try to end two years of conflict in Syria could take place on the weekend of June 15-16 in Geneva, diplomatic sources said on Tuesday.

The idea for the conference was hatched at a meeting between U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov earlier this month. Lavrov said on Monday that holding the meeting would be a "tall order" but he saw some chance of success.
