A senior opposition official said Washington’s
absence at a major opposition meeting in Istanbul this weekend did not go
unnoticed: “The Americans did not even bother to send a single diplomat to
inform us what they were doing with the Russians.”
Yet diplomats monitoring the
meeting said the opposition’s intransigence on adjusting to changing diplomatic
priorities could create a rift with the United States. Russian President Putin
said on Thursday he hopes the deal will succeed, although it remains unclear
how Washington and Moscow will destroy Syria’s chemical arms stockpile.
Secretary of State John Kerry says he hopes to see the Security Council act on
the plan next week, when the U.N. General Assembly takes place in New York
