Syria’s opposition says peace talks in Geneva took a step forward

Syria's
opposition said
peace talks with President Bashar al-Assad's
regime in Geneva took a step forward on
Wednesday with discussions on a transitional
government after four days of deadlock.
There was no immediate confirmation of this from
the regime delegation or UN mediator Lakhdar
Brahimi.
"Today we had a positive step forward because for
the first time now we are talking about the
transitional governing body, to end dictatorship
and end the fighting and the misery in Syria,"
opposition delegation spokesman Louay Safi told
reporters.
He added he hoped for "more progress in the
coming days."
Safi said the regime delegation had tried to focus
the talks on "issues of terrorism" but was willing to
have talks on the framework of political
discussions.
"We have not really discussed details, but the
general framework for the discussions about the
transitional governing body," he said, adding that
among the topics would be the size, responsibilities
and timeframe of a transitional body.
