UN Special Envoy on Syria Staffan de Mistura urged the international community to prevent the partition of Syria as a result of the ongoing armed conflict in the country, according to "BBC".
"At this stage we must at all costs avoid a continuation of conflict and division, which is in fact already being considered as a possible option. We believe that it would be a tragedy, "- said de Mistura at a press conference in Geneva.
