Syria's foreign minister had a terse exchange with the UN's Ban Ki-moon over the length of his speech and said only Syrians could decide Mr Assad's fate.
The conflict has left more than 100,000 dead and millions displaced.
The summit is discussing the Geneva communique which lays out a political transition plan for Syria.

My Comment: Total waste of time. I know that people like US Secretary of State Kerry are hoping that the process may eventually bring serious talks on peace in the future .... but I do not see it happening at all in this situation .... certainly not with this group.The conflict in Syria is a civil war to the finish .... there is going to be negotiations/compromises/or accommodations.
