GENEVA (Reuters) - The mediator of U.N.-led Syrian peace talks in Geneva will assess next week whether either side is trying to sabotage the process, he said on Thursday, after President Bashar al-Assad's negotiators said they would turn up five days late.
"We shall assess the behaviour of both sides, government and opposition, in Geneva," U.N. envoy Staffan de Mistura said. "And based on that we will then decide how this... can be a building up or not, or a sabotage of Geneva."
