Syrian opposition ready for direct talks with government delegation — representative

Negotiations should take place in the presence of an international mediator, the representative of the Syrian opposition’s High Negotiations Committee noted

GENEVA, February 22. /TASS/. The Syrian opposition’s High Negotiations Committee (HNC) is prepared for direct dialogue with the government delegation, NHC representative, Munzar Mahus, told TASS on Wednesday.

"Yes, we are ready," he said. "We hope and we want the talks to be direct."

"Negotiations should take place in the presence of an international mediator, that is the UN," Mahus noted. "However, the problem is that the agenda of the talks is unclear at the moment."

"We should discuss the transition of power process in the first place. That’s what we want to do first and foremost," the NHC representative said. "We are ready to raise other issues, but this is the main issue."
