Russia's top diplomat Sergei Lavrov will meet his American counterpart John Kerry on February 11 to review progress in the Syria peace talks, his office said Saturday.<br />The announcement came as key players in the Syrian conflict gathered in Geneva for indirect talks in a fresh effort to end the bloodshed, which has so far cost more than 260,000 lives since it began with anti-government protests in March 2011.<br />During a phone conversation, Lavrov and Kerry "agreed to evaluate progress in the Geneva talks during the next meeting of the International Syria Support Group (ISSG) on February 11," a statement said, without saying where the meeting would talk place.
