The United States has not changed its position on Iran's possible external participant in the Geneva II Peace Conference scheduled for January 22, 2014, Russian Deputy Foreign
Minister Gennady Gatilov said ahead of the Russia-U.S.-U.N. meeting.
"We believe that it is important to involve Iran in the Geneva conference. This is our position," the diplomat said, adding "Unfortunately, the U.S. position differs from ours: it does not consider Iran's participation in the Geneva Peace Conference possible."
