Syrian Deputy PM Says Peace Conference Planned Nov. 23-24 -- Reuters
Oct 17 (Reuters) - Syria's deputy prime minister said on Thursday a long-delayed international conference aimed at ending his country's civil war was scheduled for Nov. 23-24 - though Russia, one of the meeting's main organisers, quickly cast doubt on the date.
Qadri Jamil told Reuters the timing of the "Geneva 2" conference, meant to bring Syria's government and opposition together, had been confirmed by the United Nations.

But within hours of his statement, Russia's foreign ministry spokesman Alexander Lukashevich told reporters: "We shouldn't get ahead of ourselves."
