The joint sessions between Syrian government and opposition delegations did not achieve any breakthrough in talks to resolve that country’s crisis, Lakhdar Brahimi, UN-Arab League Special Envoy to Syria, has said.
Brahimi said on Tuesday night in Geneva that, no consensus was reached during the morning talks by both government and the opposition.
The mediator noted that even at that, it was good enough that all parties were still at it and the session would continue on Wednesday.
Brahimi noted that the negotiations were not easy for the past days, but said he was glad that the two sides intended to stay and continue discussions until Friday as originally planned.
He said that the opposition had presented their vision on how to implement the communiqué adopted after the first international conference on Syria held in Geneva in 2012.
Syrian Deputy Foreign Minister Faisal Makdad said that their proposals to stop violence, the basis of Geneva Communique, were rejected.
Makdad said that the government was waiting for assurance that humanitarian convoys were not going to fall into the hands of armed and terrorist groups inside the city of Homs.
Louay al-Safi, the opposition spokesman, said they refused the passage of women and children out of the besieged old city of Homs since the male people inside did not think the government would provide security for their families.
He said that the Syrian government was trying to divert from the main Geneva Communique to establish a new framework that were objected to.
