Geneva - Arab Today
A Syrian government delegation is due in Geneva on Friday to participate in the current UN-brokered talks on the Syrian crisis, the UN envoy to Syria said.
Staffan de Mistura said the talks will address issues on ruling power, constitution and elections, according to the BBC Radio.
De Mistura said all countries which he visited during his last tour back a political transition in Syria.
Earlier in the day, the head of the Syrian opposition's negotiating bloc, Asaad Aoun al Zaabi, said the Syrian opposition bloc came to Geneva to negotiate a political transition to an interim authority wielding all powers.
Zaabi considered this as the only way out to end violence and bloodshed in Syria and alleviate the suffering of the Syrians.
He voiced hope that an agreement would be reached on the political transition in line with the United Nations Security Council Resolution No. 2254.
He underlined that the opposition came to Geneva to prove its seriousness about reaching a political solution to the Syrian crisis.
Zaabi said his delegation discussed with the UN envoy a drop in extending humanitarian aid.
He noted that the talks tackled several issues, topped by releasing detainees and realizing a truce.
He made the remarks during a press conference held on Wednesday after the first session of the third round of Syrian negotiations with Staffan de Mistura, the United Nations special envoy for Syria crisis.
