BEIRUT– A senior Syrian opposition official said on Wednesday dates for a resumption of United Nations-backed Syria peace talks remained hypothetical as long as the current cessation of hostilities does not meet its humanitarian demands.
“As long as the truce does not help implement the terms (of the United Nationsresolution ), all dates for the resumption of negotiations remain hypothetical,” Syrian opposition official George Sabra told Arabic news channel Arabiya al-Hadath on Thursday.
The Syrian opposition has repeatedly said it wants full access for humanitarian aid across the country, a lifting of sieges by government forces, a release of detainees, and a halt to air strikes before it will take part in peace negotiations.
“What is the value of a truce if its overseers – meaning America and Russia – do not push all sides to abide by it?” Sabra said.
