Jan Pepijn Servaas and 2 others like this.
 

Jan Pepijn Servaas : If the Russia concluded that Assad would be a problem and Russia's interests were better handled by a government without Assad, then it was the first time for Russia supported the idea. Moscow may await an intensive interaction between the foreign ministers to urge the cessation of violence and to start political talks, but a political speech can't be implemented as long as violence is not stopped. And I was impressed by NATO's attitude with the peaceful political diplomacy, not by military intervention. That's nice, isn't it?

Pranay Suresh : I think Russia still wants to maintain its hegemony in the Middle East, and invites Iran in an effort to defend Syria. Russia will also likely provide a warranty that will avoid Israel's military attack or the U.S. against its nuclear facilities. That's it. No need for extended its list, ma'am.

Astrid Adrienne : Until now the Syrian opposition groups are still in the difficulty to form a unity at a meeting in Cairo which clearly shows the number of disagreements, this makes them always fail to lead action to oust President Bashar Assad. There are two documents, but both of them are still vague. One document contains an outline of reference for the opposition to go through a transition period while the other contains the basic principles for post Assad's government. Opposition delegates were also generally agreed to support the Army Freedom of Syria, the dissolution of the ruling party (Baath Party), and prohibited Assad or other senior officials in the transitional government, but they failed to reach an agreement to form a coalition government. It's about the presence of foreign military forces into Syria to stop the violence and how the role of religion in post-Assad.
