Geir Pedersen said on Wednesday that the recently-formed Syria's constitutional committee will hold its first meeting by the end of this month. The meeting will be held despite the situation in northeastern Syria where Turkey launched an offensive against the Kurdish forces, he said in the capital Damascus after a meeting with Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Moallem.
