On the other hand, Member in Higher Committee for Negotiations Salem al-Musalat said on Saturday the opposition- in the next round- will not agree on Assad taking any role in the interim government adding the decision is the Syrian people’s decision who do not want to see Assad in power anymore. There should not be any more waste of time because the cost of souls and people dying is very high in Syria.
Basmah Qadamani, member in Higher Committee for Negotiations said “the regime only talks of a national government with some opposition whereas the opposition delegate holds into its demands of an interim government including all authorities and that of the president authorities.”
Basmah added that we do not know how the regime and opposition visions will be reconciled warning of the collapse of Russian-US-brokered ceasefire in Syria.
Russian MP and member of the Russian delegation visiting Damascus Alexander Yushchenko said today that Damascus is ready to engage in the rounds with constructive opposition on principles of sovereignty preservation.
