'There Is No Place For Assad In The Future Of Syria': Saudi Arabia

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov met Tuesday with Adel al-Jubeir, his Saudi Arabian counterpart, on terrorism issues in the Middle East. The foreign ministers, however, failed to agree on the inclusion of Syrian President Bashar Assad in a proposed coalition against Islamic State militants. Jubeir said his country highly valued ties with Russia. He added that Saudi Arabia would never forget that the USSR was the first country to recognize it and establish diplomatic relations.
