Syrian president waits ‘actions’ from US to back declarations of potential dialogue ― RT News
Syrian president Bashar Assad has stated that he is awaiting concrete indications that the US really wants to begin dialogue aimed at resolving the Syrian conflict, after Secretary of State John Kerry declared US readiness for such talks.
“We are still listening to the comments, and we have to wait for the actions, and then we’ll decide,” Assad told Syrian television on Monday. He welcomed any change of stance that would stop “logistical, financial and military support to terrorists” from third parties.
“Any international changes that come about within that framework are something positive, if they are honest and have an effect on the ground,” he said.
However, any talks “on the future of the Syrian president... [are] for the Syrian people and all the declarations from outside do not concern us,” Assad added.
