Baku-APA. United Nations (UN) Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on Tuesday called for "all regional actors, and all those with influence over the Syrian parties, work together in favor of a peaceful, political solution", APA reports quoting Xinhua.
Ban said the UN has been engaging at least four areas, political, humanitarian, human rights and non-proliferation, over the conflict, which is now raging into its fourth year.
"As you know, we are making progress in destroying the chemical weapons. But there has been much problem and lack of progress in political solutions," Ban told a press conference in Geneva.
Ban stressed the UN will continue to strengthen capacity to deliver humanitarian assistance for all those people who are in urgent need of humanitarian assistance.
He called for all countries who have influence over the two parties to exercise it, noting that "there is no military option."
The UN head said he felt "very sad" that all sides have not been able to resume the Geneva Conference.
"We are working very hard. With maybe the appointment of the special envoy, we will have to really seriously engage in political dialogue," he noted.
