SYRIAN GOVERNMENT, OPPOSITION TO MEET ON SATURDAY, UN-ARAB LEAGUE
ENVOY SAYSNew York, Jan 24 2014 4:00PMRepresentatives of the Syrian
Government and opposition groups have agreed to meet tomorrow for the
first time ever in the same room, the Joint Special Representative of
the United Nations and the League of Arab States said in Switzerland
after another day of bilateral talks with both sides, which he
described as "encouraging."

"Both parties are going to be here tomorrow and they will be meeting,"
Lakhdar Brahimi

journalists after meeting with the delegations from the Syrian
Government and then with the Syrian opposition, at the Palais des
Nations in the Swiss capital, Geneva.

"We will be working on Saturday and we will be working on Sunday.
Nobody will be leaving on Saturday and nobody will be leaving on
Sunday," he stressed, telling a packed hall of reporters: "The huge
ambition of this process is to save Syria, no less than that."

The envoy said the first session of talks will be "to make sure that
we understand what we are doing", and focus on "practical issues that
hopefully will make discussions later easier."

Mr. Brahimi said he hoped for a "good beginning" to talks that "will
continue until the end of next week."

The goal of the conference is to achieve a political solution to the
three-year-long conflict through a comprehensive agreement between the
two sides for the full implementation of the Geneva communiqué,
adopted after the first international meeting on the issue on 30 June
2012, and since endorsed by the UN Security Council.

The communiqué lays out key steps in a process to end the violence.
Among others, it calls for the establishment of a transitional
governing body, with full executive powers and made up by members of
the present Government and the opposition and other groups, as part of
agreed principles and guidelines for a Syrian-led political
transition.

"It's very clear to both sides that the 'meat' of the conference is
how to implement these positions in the Geneva communiqué," Mr.
Brahimi said.

Humanitarian access, part of the communiqué, is among the top
priorities on the agenda. UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian
Affairs Valerie Amos, who was among the officials taking part in the
high-level session of the talks held on Wednesday in Montreux,
stressed the urgency of making arrangements for aid to flow into a
country where, well over 100,000 people have been killed and nearly 9
million others driven from their homes in nearly three years.

"A lot of discussions are taking place all the time. Valerie Amos is
not doing anything else except that. Things have improved a little
bit, never enough," said Mr. Brahimi today.

He told journalists that the process was expected to be "difficult and
complicated." He added that "in our business, certainty is a very
rare commodity" but that everyone has gone into it with "eyes wide
open."

"I think the two parties understand what is at stake," he said. "I
hope that all the three parties – the Government, the opposition and
the United Nations will be up to the task," he said, stressing that
the goal for all involved is to "save Syria."

"I hope also that the people who support one side or another also
understand what is at stake and will do their share in supporting this
process. So wish us luck," he told the journalists.Jan 24 2014 4:00PM
