Syriaofficial delegation said that the final session of the second round of talks of Geneva II conference ended without reaching an agreement on the agenda despite that Syria’s official delegation agreed on it.

The final session of the second round of talks of the international conference on Syria, Geneva II, was held  with a joint session between Syria’s official delegation and the coalition delegation in the presence of UN envoy to Syria Lakhdar Brahimi on Saturday at the UN HQ in Geneva.

The official delegation said that the final session of the second round of talks of Geneva II conference ended without reaching an agreement on the agenda despite that Syria’s official delegation agreed on it.

"We insisted on considering each item (Geneva Communique) separately in the dialogue within the draft agenda, to reach an agreement on each of them, because such an accord would reflect positively on other items."

“The item of combating terrorism or any other item couldn’t be discussed in two hours and move to other items without reaching an agreement, and this applies to all items,” the official delegation added.

"They want to make 'the transitional government' a priority because the side of utilizing terrorism has not finished yet," the delegation said, adding "those who allege desire of ceasing violence should accept the item of counterterrorism."

"USA looming of a military escalation has encouraged the coalition delegation to show intransigence and foil this round, the delegation said, adding "We are ready to return to Geneva after agreeing with us on a date for the next round, stemming from our belief in the importance of the political solution."

"We came for reaching a political solution according to Geneva1, but no solution could begin while the Syrian people are living under terrorism."

On Friday, a session of consultations between Syria's official delegation and Brahimi was held at the UN headquarters.

The second round of talks started on 10th of February, including a number of sessions, some which were separated combining each delegation with Brahimi, while others were joint in the same room with the presence of Brahimi as well.

The coalition delegation's insistence on ignoring the suffering of the Syrian people and its rejection of recognizing the presence of terrorism and the importance of combating it hindered the possibility of reaching a common ground in spite of the Syrian official delegation's openness to discuss all items of Geneva Communiqué's items.
