UN Special Envoy Brahimi on Monday's Geneva II Talks




Jan 27, 2014

Geneva, (SANA delegate) – UN Envoy to Syria, Lakhdar Brahimi, stressed that the goal of Geneva 2 conference is ending the war in Syria, building new Syria and enabling the Syrian people to meet their legitimate aspirations by  trying to implement Geneva 1 Communiqué.
 At a press conference, Brahimi pointed out that this issue is not easy due to the standing bifurcations and problems.
He added that ..We discussed in the morning a paper (political Communique) submitted by the Syrian government that included general principles, most of them are included in Geneva 1 Communique; tomorrow we are going to talk about Geneva (conference)  itself and see if we can start discussions.
Brahimi pointed out that the humanitarian issues which were discussed have not witnessed any progress as the government agreed yesterday to allow women and children out of the old city of Homs, but the means to achieve that are still under discussion as it is not easy due to the presence of snipers and  many problems there.
