Syrian opposition says ready for Geneva talks, but Assad must go

MUNICH, Feb 19 (Reuters) The Syrian opposition is fully committed to peace talks in Geneva on February 23, a senior official said today, adding the talks would need to pave the way for a political transition.

Brett McGurk, the United States' envoy to the coalition against Islamic State, said the new US administration was still reviewing its Syria position, but that it was seeking a role to reinforce Russian and Turkish efforts to cement a ceasefire in the country.
