A handout picture released by the official Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) shows Syrian President Bashar al-Assad meeting with UN-Arab League envoy Kofi Annan (L) in the Syrian capital Damascus on July 9, 2012. Annan arrived in Syria after admitting that his peace plan has so far failed to end nearly 16 months of carnage, as scores more die in the violence-wracked country.
