U.N. envoy sees staggered start to Syria peace talks

The United Nations Syria envoy expects a staggered start to peace talks next week, with participants arriving over several days for "indirect meetings", he said in an interview with pan-Arab newspaper Al Hayat. "I see us beginning on March 10 when we will launch the process," said envoy Staffan de Mistura. Others, because of difficulties with hotel reservations, will arrive on the 11th.
