Presidential Political and Media Advisor Buthaina Shaaban said that the essential, big problem in the search for a political solution through Geneva track lies in the fact that “we don’t know whom representing those who came by the name of opposition, how many, and what is their relation to Syria.”
Shaaban told Al-Alam news TV in an interview that Syria’s official delegation went to Geneva, and goes today, in spite of the acknowledgment about the representation problem of the other side, because the official delegation doesn’t want to miss any opportunity to stop the bloodshed in Syria.
She added that the coalition delegation came to Geneva for discussing one word in a specified point of Geneva 1 communique; namely the rule, not the transitional rule body, otherwise, the Syrian official delegation wanted to discuss the communique, but with sequence starting from the first item on the halt of terrorism.
Shaaban said that the official delegation insists on discussing the halt of violence and combating terrorism in the second round of talks as this is the first item of the communiqué, then preserving the state institutions and finding a suitable environment for a political track before discussing the transitional ruling body.
She made clear that Geneva 1 communique is very clear which states for the importance of agreement on all points, adding that it is not allowed to make any constitutional vacuum.
Shaaban said there is no contacts with the US side who is still hesitant on selecting the track it wants to go through, affirming that the coalition delegation will return with the US instructions, adding that no one knows what is the US decision now regarding the crisis in Syria, while the Russian stance will not change because it is principled and depends on the international laws and legitimacy.
She affirmed that the political solution to the humanitarian file in Syria lies in the stop of the terrorist war against the Syrian people, holding those who finance, arm and support terrorism in Syria responsible for the suffering of the Syrians, adding that terrorists take the civilians as human shields, trafficking with their lives and sufferings.
Shaaban went on to say that Turkey and Qatar were the spearhead in the terrorist war against Syria before Saudi Arabia shouldered this mission, adding that these countries work with the orders of the US and the Brotherhood Government of Erdogan has behaved with a new Ottoman mentality.
She pointed out that the US latest decision to resume the arming of terrorist in Syria was not new, but the decision’s announcement at the time of holding Geneva 2 conference is the new issue, saying that the US administration is confused in dealing with Syria as it attempts to reach a decision after its failure to impose its will on Syria.
Shaaban added that the US doesn’t want to tell the world that its wagers in Syria have failed, as the US is interested in the image rather than reality and it tries to search for specific exits for this issue, but the firm convection at the US now is that it will not be able to impose its vision on Syria, so it turns a blind eye on Saudi Arabia which finances terrorism in Syria.
She concluded by saying that those attempts will fail because the supportive effort to terrorism in Syria is synchronized with accelerating reconciliations on the Syrian lands and with a special change in the mentality of the Syrians.
