Geneva, Switzerland__ The United Nations' Syria envoy announced that Syria's two bitterly divided parties have agreed to sit down together in the same room Saturday for the first time, after refusing to do so today, and that he was cautiously encouraged by the discussions he had with the two sides separately over the past two days.
"Tomorrow, [the two sides] have agreed to meet in the same room," Lakhdar Brahimi, the Algerian diplomat who serves as the joint UN/Arab League envoy for Syria, told journalists at a press conference at the Palais des Nations Friday.
