"The Syrian issue is complex, and the world is closely following developments there"

UN-Arab League peace envoy Kofi Annan on Wednesday said the situation in Syria is "complex" and urged an intensification of international efforts to end bloodshed.
  
"The Syrian issue is complex, and the world is closely following developments there," Annan told Jordanian Foreign Minister Nasser Judeh during a meeting in Amman.
  
"We need to work hard and do our utmost to find a solution to this crisis and end the suffering of Syrian people, who should have priority in all efforts exerted," a foreign ministry statement quoted Annan as saying. He added that "intensified international efforts are needed to face the situation in Syria and find ways to end the killings there."
  
Annan, who arrived in Jordan from neighboring Syria on a two-day trip, is due to meet King Abdullah II on Thursday, government officials said.
