Assad will remain president until 2014

The Hindu  

Syria’s foreign minister laid out a hard line on Wednesday, saying Bashar Assad will remain president at least until elections in 2014 and might seek another term, conditions that will make it difficult for the opposition to agree to U.N.- Any deal reached in such talks would have to be put to a referendum, Foreign Minister Walid al-Moallem added in a TV interview, introducing a new condition that could complicate efforts by the U.S. and Russia to bring both sides together at an international conference in Geneva, possibly next month. Drawing a tough line of its own, the main exile-based political group, the Syrian National Coalition, reiterated that any negotiations require “the head of the regime, security and military leadership to step down and be excluded from the political process.” While the Assad regime has agreed in principle to attend peace talks, the opposition has not, insisting it first get international guarantees on the agenda and timetable. Al-Moallem said that “Americans have no business in deciding who will run Syria,” adding that this “would be a precedent in international relations that we must not allow.” Al-Moallem also delivered the regime’s most serious warning to Israel since the start of the conflict, saying Syria “will retaliate immediately” if Israel strikes Syrian soil again. U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said in a statement that “Syria is disintegrating before our eyes,” and that radicalism fed by chaos “increasingly threatens regional security.” In Geneva, U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay said Syria’s civil war “reflects a colossal failure to protect civilians.”
