The Syrian Coalition approved going to Geneva II conference scheduled to begin in Switzerland this week. “The formation of a transitional ruling body with full powers will be at the top of the agenda of Geneva II,” the Syrian Coalition head Ahmad Jarba said. Jarba also said that there must be a specific timeframe for the negotiations, stressing that it cannot be an open-ended process. Jarba also expressed the Coalition’s support for a political solution that preserves the fundamentals of the Syrian revolution and that leads to the departure of Assad. He also said that the Coalition’s delegation to Geneva II is almost ready and that the Coalition is going to consult with all other factions of the Syrian opposition before going to the conference. “The Assad regime must take the initiative and implement a cease-fire as a confidence-building step,” Jarba stresses. The Syrian Coalition head accused Iran and Hezbollah of “carrying out criminal acts in Syria, Iran is present in Geneva through coordination with the Assad regime it but will not be at the negotiating table.” (Source: Syrian Coalition + Sky News)
