UN-AL Envoy to Syria Lakhdar Brahimi said that he met with the Syrian government and the opposition delegations separately on Thursday and Friday, and that they agreed to meet in one room on Saturday.
He said during a press conference in Geneva on Friday that the biggest ambition of the Geneva 2 conference is nothing short of saving Syria, hoping that the Syrian government, the opposition and the UN will meet this ambition.
Brahimi also hoped that those who support one or the other of the two sides understand the impending dangers and fulfill their duties of supporting this process.
He stressed that no-one wants terrorism to continue in Syria except the terrorists themselves, saying that the process of saving Syria involves saving it from terrorism.
Brahimi noted that Geneva 2 is held without preconditions and that the basis are the first Geneva communiqué, noting that there are some reservations over this communiqué and hoping that it would be possible to remove any ambiguity regarding it.
Brahimi refused to answer a question on whether there are any indicators on the possibility of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey and other countries stopping their support for terrorism in Syria which has been going on since the beginning of the crisis.
