GENEVA (Zaman Al Wasl)- The Syrian opposition's chief Negotiator told Zaman al-Wasl that the High Negotiations Committee will be completely abide by the revolution’s principles and the Syrian people's demands in the ongoing talks in Geneva.

“We cannot give up those principles at all, we cannot accept semi-solutions, as they are fatal in revolutions”, Mohamed Alloush reassured.

Aloush, 
the senior commander of powerful Jaish al-Islam group, asserted that the armed solution is still rebels first solution to topple Bashar al-Assad despite peace talks.

 “We will not leave the revolution principles and we consider the political battle as a stationing battlefield, like what fighters do at front-lines.. and the battle might succeed and might not.”

Alloush added that the situation in Syria is too difficult, however, the God's will is over all, then the will of Syrian people which gave huge sacrifices, and that make them insist on protecting Syrian people’s and detainees’ rights as there are thousands of detainees of children and women.

“We cannot trust someone who prevent vaccine from arriving to children under siege, this man is unprecedented, even in forest there is more mercy, but those are monsters, and regime is still stubborn, and the aim of attending talks is to show off election outcomes”, Alloush added.

The commander of Islam Army revealed that they have 23 prisoner including an Alawite woman, and they offered to hand them to the regime without anything in return, but the regime refused, even it refused to receive her, even when she was sent with the U.N. envoy, the regime barrier in Wafiddin camp refused receiving her and returning her to her family.

The opposition wants the transition to be run by a governing authority that has full executive powers. Damascus has, however, signaled that the most it is willing to offer is a "unity government" with opposition participation, and a new constitution.

The ongoing Geneva talks aim to end a-5-year- war that has killed more than 250,000 people, created the world's worst refugee crisis, and allowed for the rise of the Islamic State group.
