Reuters: Russia's Lavrov says Washington more 'receptive' to Moscow position on Syria

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Wednesday that the United States was increasingly receptive toward Moscow's position on the conflict in Syria.

Lavrov referred to comments by U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry after military talks restarted between Washington and Moscow on Syria, where a war shows no signs of abating after four and a half years.

A Russian diplomatic source said separately on Wednesday that Moscow saw growing chances for an international deal on Syria.

WNU Editor: The U.S. has reacted to Russian FM Lavrov's remarks .... U.S., Rebutting Russia's Lavrov, Says No Change in Syria Position (Moscow Times/Reuters). What's my take .... the U.S. has shifted its position ... they have been trying everything in the past two weeks to block Russian attempts to bolster Syrian President Assad .... and now they are looking for ways to work together.
