A Russian draft UN resolution on Syria may help to bring closer the positions of world powers on the crisis in the Arab state, a French Foreign Ministry spokesman said on Tuesday.
"Russia has provided the text, and this is another reason not only to discuss but also to try to work together in New York on a rapprochement of our points of view," Bernard Valero said at a press conference in Paris.
A diplomatic source in New York told RIA Novosti on Monday that Russia had produced its own draft resolution on Syria.
More than 2,200 people have been killed in the crackdown on anti-government protests in Syria since the uprising against President Bashar Assad broke out in March.
