A conference aimed at finding peace in Syria is being held at the Black Sea resort of Sochi.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said everything was in place to achieve this target, before he was interrupted by some Syrian delegates who accused Russia of killing ordinary civilians with airstrikes. Moscow described the conference as an effort to speed up the political settlement for the war-torn country. However, expectations are low because of the opposition's boycott and the absense of France, the UK and the US.
