"For us as for, the HNC delegation, this issue is not closed, however, those, who want to join the talk, should have some certain positions. If they agree with such conditions, as, for instance, the resignation of [Syrian President Bashar] Assad and so on… Maybe it is Cairo [platform]. We have the common ground. The Moscow platform is far from that point. However, if they accept these position, we will have no problems," Zoubi said in an interview.
The way to solve the Syrian crisis could be found very quickly provided that there is a binding resolution of the UN Security Council, but otherwise the search for it could take a decade, al-Zoubi told Sputnik.
"The problem is that the decision could be found in an eye blink, as soon as we have a binding decision of the Security Council. Or it could take decades," Zoubi said in the interview, when asked how many rounds of negotiation should take place before the way to settle the Syrian issue is found.
The fourth round of UN-backed intra-Syrian talks between the government and opposition factions began on Thursday in Geneva. The discussions are expected to center around governance, constitutional issues and elections in Syria.
On Friday, Cairo group's leader Jihad Makdissi told Sputnik that the HNC and Cairo opposition platform had not agreed to merge their delegations to the intra-Syrian talks in Geneva.
