Syrian Gov’t, Opposition Agree on Four Key Points in Moscow Talks

Jan 29, 2015, Sputnik News

Delegates from Syria’s government and opposition managed to reach consensus on four key points during talks in Moscow, the Deputy Secretary General of the Syrian National Youth Party told Sputnik Thursday.

The main points include the “activation and acceleration of delivery of humanitarian aid to all regions of Syria, without exception on the basis of a relevant UN resolution,” as well as “calls on the international community to alleviate and lift economic sanctions imposed against Syrian people,” Suheir Sarmini told Sputnik.

According to Sarmini, both sides reached consensus in condemning “acts of aggression by Israel towards Lebanon and Syria, calling on the international community to pressure Jerusalem with the aim of observance of the UN charter and implementation of international resolutions.”

Sarmini stated that it had also been decided to work on holding the next meeting which would take place in a month at the latest.

The intra-Syria talks took place in Moscow on January 26-29. Government officials, representatives of the opposition parties and the UN special envoy for Syria participated in the negotiations.
