Syria: No talks with rebels until they’re crushed<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3 September 2012<\/p>\n\n\n\n
(AP) BEIRUT – The Syrian regime said Monday there will be no dialogue with the opposition before the army crushes the rebels, the latest sign that President Bashar Assad is determined to solve the crisis on the battlefield even if many more of his people have to pay with their lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The statement comes a day after activists reported that August was the bloodiest month since the uprising began in March 2011.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“There will be no dialogue with the opposition prior to the Syrian army’s imposition of security and stability in all parts of the country,” Information Minister Omran al-Zoebi told reporters at a news conference in Damascus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The opposition has long rejected any talks with the regime until Assad is removed from power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Muhieddine Lathkani, an opposition figure based in Britain, responded to the minister’s comments by saying “the key to any dialogue will be the departure of Assad and dismantling of the regime’s security agencies that committed all these crimes.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lathkani told The Associated Press by telephone that after that happens, there could be a dialogue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Earlier in the day, the new U.N. envoy to Syria acknowledged that brokering an end to the civil war will be a “very, very difficult” task.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Commentant l'histoire, Ribal Al-Assad, directeur de l'ODFS, a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 :<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I condemn the comments made by the Syrian regime and the Syrian opposition stating they will continue the violence and not engage in any dialogue. There is no military solution to this conflict. A diplomatic solution based on the conditions set out in the Kofi Annan Plan is the only way forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSi une guerre civile totale menant \u00e0 la Syria et \u00e0 la r\u00e9gion doit \u00eatre \u00e9vit\u00e9e, toutes les parties \u2013 le r\u00e9gime, l'opposition et leurs soutiens ext\u00e9rieurs \u2013 doivent agir de bonne foi et soutenir la diplomatie pour parvenir \u00e0 une r\u00e9solution pacifique de la crise. C'est la seule fa\u00e7on d'entamer un processus politique menant \u00e0 une transition d\u00e9mocratique pacifique et inclusive vers un gouvernement d'unit\u00e9 nationale, la d\u00e9mocratie et la libert\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I call on all the Syrian opposition to unite onto one platform and work together for a peaceful solution as a continuation of the violence could lead to the fragmentation of Syria and its society, where everyone will lose out.”<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
