Kerry asks Putin for tougher stance on Syria
US Secretary of State John Kerry has asked Russian president Vladimir Putin for a tougher stance on Syria at a time when Israeli air strikes against the Middle Eastern nation have added an unpredictable factor to the talks.
Mr Kerry is in Moscow a meeting with the most powerful ally of Syrian president Bashar Assad’s regime and he hopes to change Moscow’s thinking on Syria with two new angles: American threats to arm the Syrian rebels and evidence of chemical weapon attacks by the Assad regime.
