AMMAN, Jan 6 (Reuters) – Syria’s opposition rejected a
proposed peace initiative announced in a speech by President
Bashar al-Assad on Sunday, saying it was aimed at wrecking
diplomatic efforts to end the civil war.
“Assad simply wanted, with the initiative he proposed, to
cut the road to reaching a political solution that may result
from the forthcoming American-Russian meeting with (U.N.
mediator Lakhdar) Brahimi, which the opposition would not accept
unless he and his regime leave,” National Coalition spokesman
Walid Bunni told Reuters.
