Syrian leadership resignation no precondition for Syria peace talks – Russia

Russia will never agree to setting the Syrian leadership  resignation as a precondition for peace talks between the Syrian warring parties.

This came Tuesday in a statement by the head of Russian Duma’s Foreign Affairs Committee, Alexei Pushkov.

Mr. Pushkov said the Kremlin would never accept a “first Syria leadership’s  resignation, then talks” formula. “I don’t think the Syrian leadership would agree to it either,” he added,according to the Voice of Russia.

Russia and France see more eye to eye on Syria, Russia’s Foreign Affairs Committee chief Alexei Pushkov told reporters on Wednesday.

Addressing the 17th meeting of the Russian-French inter-parliamentary committee, Mr. Pushkov said Russia’s Western partners were beginning to see that the Syrian leadership’s   resignation wasn’t a silver bullet for the crisis in Syria.
