Togo’s amb. to UN says consensus on Syria close

PanARMENIAN.Net - There is a general feeling among members of the UN Security Council that they will arrive at a consensus on a Syria resolution soon, Togo's UN Ambassador said on Thursday, Feb 2.

"The feeling in the council is that consensus will be achieved shortly. We don't have a deadline for adopting a resolution," Reuters quoted Kodjo Menan, president of the Security Council this month, as saying.

He added that council members, who will meet at 3:00 pm (2000 GMT) to discuss the latest version of a European-Arab draft resolution endorsing an Arab League call for Syria's president to step aside, want "swift action."
