Asharq Al-Awsat, Jan 25, 2016- President of the National Coalition for Syrian Opposition Forces Khaled Khoja said that Kerry’s talks with the body was nothing new and pointed out that it was just “a message formed by the Iranians and Russians”.
Khoja added that the body assured Kerry that there are four conditions to create the conditions needed to start the negotiation process or a peaceful political solution and without them, there is no room for any negotiation.
The chief negotiator of the Syrian opposition delegation Mohammed Alloush said yesterday that he is under pressure from the US Secretary of State John Kerry to attend the planned peace talks in Geneva this week to negotiate the demands of the opposition. Alloush said that there would be a strong response to the American pressure but did not give any further details.
