BEIRUT (Sputnik) — Different groups of Syrian opposition should form a joint delegation in order to reach positive results at the forthcoming settlement talks in the Swiss city of Geneva, Randa Kassis, Syria’s secular opposition leader from the Movement of the Pluralistic Society, told Sputnik on Friday.
"We have discussed… a possibility to form a single delegation to participate in the negotiations. If we go to Geneva just like we have gone to the third round of Geneva talks or to the peace negotiations in Geneva last year, we will not get anything new and it would be just a waste of time," Kassis said.
She said that the opposition should use an opportunity provided by agreements between Russia and Turkey on the Syrian issue, adding that there were still several difficulties with the Riyadh-backed opposition representatives.
Since 2011, Syria has been engulfed in a civil war, with government forces fighting against numerous opposition and terrorist groups, including al-Nusra Front and Daesh, which is banned in a range of countries, including Russia.
