Kerry: We Have to Talk to Assad
The United States will "have to negotiate in the end" with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, Secretary of State John Kerry has said.
Speaking on the fourth anniversary of the civil war, Mr Kerry said the conflict was "one of the worst tragedies any of us have seen".
He said the US was pushing President Assad to begin negotiations again after two previous rounds of talks collapsed.
More than 215,000 people are estimated to have been killed in the conflict.
The US was working hard to "re-ignite" efforts to find a political solution to end the war, Mr Kerry said in an interview in the Egyptian resort of Sharm el-Sheikh.
Interviewed by CBS, he said the US was working with the moderate opposition in Syria as well as pursuing a diplomatic track.
"We have had conversations with a number of different critical players in this tragedy," he added.
