"HALT OF VIOLENCE"

Meanwhile, al-Sharaa said that the main step in order to secure a settlemnt in Syria is to halt violence by all sides.

In remarks published by the Syrian Daily al-Watan, al-Sharaa said that the solution in Syria should be based on the former UN envoy Kofi Annan's six-point plan and the statement declared by international powers following Geneva meeting.

"Tis could help all the Syrians, I mean the government and the opposition, to go into national dialogue and to accept it's results if the political will was existed."
