‘No progress to speak of’ as first round of UN-sponsored Syrian peace talks ends...
“We haven’t made any progress, to speak of,” UN-Arab League Joint Special Representative Lakhdar Brahimi told a news conference in Geneva, site of the eight days of talks, noting that the opposition has agreed to return for a further session on 10 February but that the Government delegation said they needed to check back with Damascus first.
“There is absolutely no doubt that the key positions are still very wide apart,” he said of the talks, the first time Government and opposition representatives have sat down together in the UN-sponsored bid to help end nearly three years of civil war in which well over 100,000 people have been killed and nearly 9 million others driven from their homes since the conflict erupted between President Bashar al-Assad and various groups seeking his ouster.........................http://www.un.org/apps/news/story.asp?NewsID=47052&

Genève II: toujours un large fossé entre Damas et l'opposition...
ReplyDeleteLe fossé reste large entre régime syrien et opposition au terme de la première série de négociations, a constaté l'ONU au dernier jour des pourparlers à Genève, où le régime a affiché son refus de faire toute concession.
Pendant ce premier face-à-face d'une semaine depuis le début de la guerre il y a près de trois ans en Syrie, les deux parties ont campé sur leurs positions, le régime insistant sur le fait qu'il ne voulait pas céder sur la transition politique et l'opposition clamant que Damas était "contraint à négocier" sur cette question centrale du conflit qui continue de ravager le pays...............http://www.rtbf.be/info/monde/detail_negociations-de-geneve-le-regime-syrien-ne-fera-aucune-concession?id=8189544

Terrorism in Syria cannot be fought using other terrorists - Russian FM Lavrov...
ReplyDeleteSyria's armed opposition group, the Islamic Front, with whose assistance foreign stakeholders in the conflict are trying to combat terrorism in the country, is in fact a terrorist organization itself, says Russian Foreign Minister, Sergei Lavrov.
Speaking at the Munich Security Conference on Saturday, Lavrov noted that, while some are trying to combat the terrorist organizations al-Nusra Front and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant through establishing a new association called the Islamic Front, the groups comprising the Islamic Front are pretty similar to those terror groups.
At least one was involved, with the al-Nusra Front, in the Adra massacre in Syria, in which dozens of Christians, Druze, and other minorities were slain, he added. Militants migrate between the Islamic Front, al-Nusra Front, the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant depending on who pays more, Russia therefore has great doubts that the Islamic Front could serve as an alternative to terrorists, Lavrov said............http://voiceofrussia.com/news/2014_02_01/Terrorism-in-Syria-cannot-be-fought-using-other-terrorists-Russian-FM-Lavrov-6002/

Syrian opposition chief presses Russia on al-Assad...
ReplyDeleteSyria's opposition leader met Russia's top diplomat on Feb. 3 in a bid to persuade Moscow to push its ally Damascus to agree to a transitional government for the war-scarred nation.
The talks between Syrian National Coalition chief Ahmad Jarba and Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov came after an inconclusive 10-day peace conference in Geneva concluded on Jan. 31 without a commitment from Damascus to attend a new round of negotiations set for Feb. 10.
Last month's so-called Geneva II meeting was promoted jointly by Washington - a firm backer of the Syrian opposition - and Moscow in a bid to convince the warring sides to sit down for direct talks for the first time.
But Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's team and the opposition made no progress on local ceasefires or permission for humanitarian corridors to some of the country's more devastated cities such as Homs.
Russia's Deputy Foreign Minister Gennady Gatilov indicated on Feb. 4 that Moscow expected al-Assad to state firmly his delegation's intentions to resume the Geneva negotiations next week.
"We have no doubt Damascus will issue orders for the government delegation to continue the negotiations in Geneva," Russian news agencies quoted Gatilov as saying at the start of Jarba's talks with Lavrov..............http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/syrian-opposition-chief-presses-russia-on-al-assad.aspx?pageID=238&nID=61972&NewsCatID=359
