Deputy PM: Syria regime would call for ceasefire at Geneva talks
None
The Syrian government believes the civil war ravaging the country has reached a stalemate and would call for a ceasefire if long-stalled peace talks in Geneva were to take place, the deputy prime minister told Britain's Guardian on Thursday.
When asked what his government would propose at the stalled Geneva-2 summit, he replied, "An end to external intervention, a ceasefire and the launching of a peaceful political process in a way that the Syrian people can enjoy self-determination without outside intervention and in a democratic way." Jamil stressed that his comments represented the government's position. (AFP)
