The latest round of Syrian peace talks held in Moscow, the first such round that the Obama Administration has expressed any support for, ended today without a joint statement, and with both sides blaming the other for the lack of consensus.
The Syrian government revealed that considerable progress was initially made on the talks, and a joint statement was actually written, but not released when the two sides got into a dispute over prisoner releases, a sticking point for the rebels.
Russian FM Sergey Lavrov met with the officials of both sides and admonished them to make progress, saying there would be no one left to build a “united and sovereign Syria” if they keep the war going.
Vitaly Naumkin, the Russian mediator for the talks, said the disagreements weren’t as big as they seemed, and that with another week a deal would probably have been reached, adding “they say at the table together, they didn’t go into a fistfight.”
"said the disagreements weren’t as big as they seemed, and that with another week a deal would probably have been reached"
So why did they quit?
because they're children…and they don't want to appear weak or to have "lost." Just like the Israelis when they whine about everything.
Could a deal really be expected? Not with the ´rebels´ holding out for American handouts!
Mr Ditz is pro AssAdd – Is it not?
No. Mr Ditz is anti-war, and more specifically anti-US-intervention.
These "oppositions" as they love to hear this word, never hade a unity about anything, if they hade tgey wouldent serve the wahabbis the saudis religious fascism idealogy, they wouldn't become the servants of EU right wing nor the American warmongers. The reason for syria being destroyed is because of this idiots not having any unity to start with. The other opposition, as they also loved to hear the word were the ones who destroyd Iraq, as a result of their idiocy saudis, wahabbis and all other involved have managed to create ISIS, a barbaric fascist islamic caliphat regimes trying to conquer the world.
Obama or Hillary Clinton or McCain might think that their ideas in Islamization, creating wars, supporting this or that terrorist group, manipulating the idea in democracy may bring a kind of "democracy" down the line, but it needs to be said that they all and their european neo liberals never been so wrong ever in their foreign policy as they have in last 15 years. Their colonialism ideas and these "oppositions" have created a long time war and ISIS, Al-queada and all other religious delusionalas ideas for the free world to chose.
Mr. Ditz, is anti-war so as most of people participating in anti-war.com, but there are not much of anti capitalism regime which is the main reasons for present, past and upcoming social, political and economic wars in Middle East or Africa, or countries of "interests" where such interests are about capitalism interests, here the interests is never ever been about people's interests but capitalism finding ways to steal people's wealth all over the world' which is yet another capitalism social economic reason to cooperate with regimes as they are either a militarism, terrorist sponsors regime, like saudi arabia, israel and etc.
