What Role Does Syria Play in Mideast Peace Talks?

NPR
Published November 27, 2007 at 4:00 PM EST

Syria has chosen to attend this week's Middle East summit in Annapolis, Md., sending a deputy foreign minister after Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Egypt — among others — urged it to participate, and after Iran pressured the country to boycott the gathering.
