The head of the Syrian Negotiating Commission, Dr. Bader Jamous, met today (Thursday) with the Permanent Representative of Turkey to the United Nations, His Excellency Ambassador Burak Akçapar, at the headquarters of the Permanent Mission of the Republic of Turkey to the United Nations Office in Geneva, and discussed with him a number of issues of mutual interest to both parties.

The discussion covered the latest regional political and security developments, the Israeli aggression on Gaza, its confrontation against the Hezbollah militia, its targeting of pro-Iranian militias in Syria, and the effects of these developments on Turkey and Syria. The head of the SNC indicated that it is an opportunity that everyone should not miss to move towards a comprehensive and radical political solution to the Syrian issue and to stop Iran’s interference in the Syrian sovereign decision, and to put an end to the practices of the regime that spread tension, chaos and terrorism in the region.

The two sides reviewed the results of the US elections and the victory of President Donald Trump, and the hope that the new US administration’s policy in dealing with the terrorist separatist forces in northwestern Syria will change, and that it will be more decisive towards ending the Syrian tragedy and moving forward with the political solution, and stopping the security, political, economic and humanitarian deterioration in it by applying effective pressure to implement international resolutions, most notably UN Resolution 2254. The head of the SNC also reviewed with Mr. Akçapar issues related to the conditions of Syrian refugees in Turkey, and the importance of enhancing humanitarian aid for them and for the Syrian interior, and praised Turkey’s firm and steadfast position on the political solution and its interest in the necessity of implementing international resolutions related to the Syrian issue.
