The head of Syria's domestic opposition, the National Coordination Body for Democratic Change, told Zaman al Wasl that he opposed Russian air strikes targeting moderate Free Syrian Army since it accepts a political solution.
Hassan Abdel Azim said hitting FSA's strongholds will not drive us to a solution in Syria since the armed group has agreed on Geneva communique 2 that states the road map of Syria's future without Bashar al-Assad.
Abdel Azim said Russia's counter terrorism in Syria will be paralyzed unless it combines with parallel political solution.
NCB General Coordinator said the current coalition includes Iran, Russia, and the Assad regime may hinder any political solution as well disrupts regional and international equations.
Abdel Azim called for wider pact over Syria includes Turkey, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Algeria. "Such collation will be more effective for Syrian crisis," he added.
The U.K.-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) on Wednesday said that Russian airstrikes carried out in Syria had killed 370 people over the last 20 days, AA reported.
The Assad army backed by fighters from Iran and Lebanon's Hezbollah have launched a series of ground offensives against insurgent-held areas of western and northwestern Syria since Russia began air strikes in the country on Sept. 30.
In surprise visit, Al Assad flew to Moscow on Tuesday evening to personally thank Russia's Vladimir Putin for his military support, in a surprise visit that underlined how Russia has become a major player in the Middle East.
It was Assad's first foreign trip since the outbreak of the Syrian crisis in 2011, and came three weeks after Russia launched a campaign of air strikes against Islamist militants in Syria that has also bolstered Assad's forces, Reuters reported.
Putin said he hoped progress on the military front would be followed by moves toward a political solution in Syria, bolstering Western hopes Moscow will use its increased influence on Damascus to cajole Assad into talking to his opponents.
