Syrian government representatives will head to Geneva on Sunday to participate in the United Nations (UN)-organized peace talks for Syria, a Foreign Ministry source says.<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
\n

\n\t\u201cThe Syrian government delegation will arrive in Geneva on Sunday to take part in the eighth round\u201d of the Geneva talks, Syria\u2019s SANA news agency cited a Foreign Ministry source as saying on Thursday, according to presstv.ir.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe news comes following days of speculation\u00a0about whether the Syrian government would take part in the negotiations.<\/p>\n

\n\tOn Friday, Bashar al-Ja\u2019afari, Syria\u2019s UN ambassador and chief negotiator, told reporters in Geneva that his team would fly back home and that \u201cDamascus will decide\u201d whether they would return to the Geneva talks, which resumed later on December 5.<\/p>\n

\n\tJa\u2019afari said there were \u201cbig problems in this round of talks,\u201d pointing to a statement released last month by the opposition insisting that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad step down before any peace deal could be reached.<\/p>\n

\n\tPrevious rounds of negotiations under the auspices of the UN over the past five years have failed to achieve tangible results, mainly due to the opposition\u2019s insistence that the elected Syrian government cede power.<\/p>\n

\n\tMeanwhile, Russia, Iran, and Turkey have been organizing a parallel peace process between Syria\u2019s warring parties in Astana, Kazakhstan, since January. While they were launched years after the Geneva process, the talks in Astana have comparably resulted in significant achievements, including ceasefires and de-escalation zones that have reduced the actual fighting in Syria.<\/p>\n

\n\tMoreover, Russia plans to hold an all-Syrian congress, known as the Syrian National Dialog Congress, in the Black Sea resort of Sochi, which would involve drawing up a framework for Syria\u2019s future structure, adopting a new constitution and holding elections under UN supervision.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin on November 20, Assad said he was \u201cready for dialog with all those who want to come up with a political settlement.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
