  2. State John Kerry on Tuesday:

    It's an opportunity for us to force this question of how you actually resolve the question of Syria, and the bottom line is, you cannot resolve it without including the Sunni(s) in a political solution, a political agreement ultimately, and that will mean that you're going to have to have some kind of transition, some kind of timing. Because as long as Assad is there, you simply can't make piece. Period.

  3. Foreign Minister Mohammed Javad Zarif:

    We'll see, all issues are hard until you resolve them and all issues are easy if you resolve them.

  4. Benjamin Franklin:
