The language used in the statement contravenes the UN Security Council resolution 2254,\u201d Bashar al-Ja&#8217;afari told reporters on Friday following talks with United Nations Special Envoy for Syria\u00a0Staffan de Mistura\u00a0in the Swiss city of Geneva.<\/p>\n<p style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px; font-size: 18px; text-align: justify; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif;\">\n\tHe stated that the Damascus government\u2019s delegates have already submitted a list of basic principles for the sake of a political solution to the lingering Syrian conflict, which primarily focuses on the formation of a common ground and national trust.<\/p>\n<p style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px; font-size: 18px; text-align: justify; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif;\">\n\tJa&#8217;afari added that those who drafted the &#8220;provocative and irresponsible&#8221; Riyadh-2 communiqu\u00e9 were simply seeking to undermine De Mistura\u2019s mission, stressing that the peace talks in Geneva are \u201cnot a vicious circle.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px; font-size: 18px; text-align: justify; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif;\">\n\tThe Syrian negotiator underlined that government troops are making territorial gains on a daily basis, and Damascus is close to win the decisive victory over Daesh terrorist group.<\/p>\n<p style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px; font-size: 18px; text-align: justify; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif;\">\n\tThe veteran diplomat stressed that any unilateral action taken without the coordination with the incumbent Syrian government is totally rejected.<\/p>\n<p style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px; font-size: 18px; text-align: justify; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif;\">\n\tJa\u2019afari concluded that his team would leave the UN-backed talks in Geneva on Saturday, and that &#8220;Damascus will decide&#8221; if they will return and continue the talks next Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px; font-size: 18px; text-align: justify; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif;\">\n\tThe eight rounds of Syrian peace negotiations in Geneva have failed to achieve a tangible result over the past five years, mainly due to the opposition\u2019s insistence that Assad must cede power.<\/p>\n<p style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px; font-size: 18px; text-align: justify; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif;\">\n\tNasr al-Hariri, the head of the so-called High Negotiations Committee (HNC), said in Geneva on Monday evening that Assad\u2019s departure should be set before the start of any transition process.<\/p>\n<p style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px; font-size: 18px; text-align: justify; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif;\">\n\tThat condition seems no longer tenable due to Syria\u2019s continued victories against the militants in the recent past.<\/p>\n<p style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px; font-size: 18px; text-align: justify; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif;\">\n\tOn Tuesday, the US and UK officials expressed support for the Syrian opposition in the course of Geneva talks.<\/p>\n<p style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px; font-size: 18px; text-align: justify; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif;\">\n\tRussia, Turkey and Iran, on the other hand, have mediated a parallel peace process between Syria\u2019s warring parties in Astana, Kazakhstan, since January.<\/p>\n<p style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px; font-size: 18px; text-align: justify; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);

drawing up a framework for Syria\u2019s future structure, adopting a new constitution and holding elections under the UN supervision.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>madaresharghi Syria&#8217;s ambassador to the United Nations and head of the Syrian delegation to the intra-Syrian peace
