Al-Jaafari: “We Received a Paper from De Mistura”

GENEVA, (ST)- Head of the Syrian Arab Republic’s delegation to the Intra-Syrian Talks in Geneva  Bashar al-Jaafari said that the delegation received a paper from the UN Chief’s Special Envoy for Syria Staffan de Mistura during their meeting on Friday.

In a press conference following talks with De Mistura, al-Jaafari said “we held a round of talks with de Mistura during which we discussed issues relating only to the shape of the sessions.

 “We will study the paper and tell de Mistura in the next round of talks of our position from its content,” al-Jaafari added.

The next meeting will be agreed on through diplomatic channels and in coordination with de Mistura’s office, according to the Syrian senior diplomat.

UN sources said that the oppositions’ delegations haven’t reached an agreement among each other yet. What is evident is that the talks will be indirect in the fourth round of intra-Syrian talks in Geneva.
