Geneva: There is no ”plan B” if the peace negotiations fail
March 13, 2016
Syrian Kurds are an important part of the country and should be allowed to express their opinion on the region’s future at the Geneva talks, says Staffan de Mistura, the UN envoy to Syria, adding that there is no ‘plan B’ if negotiations fail. “The Syrian Kurds are an important component of the country, so we need to find a formula in which they are able to express an opinion on the constitution and the governance of the country” told de Mistura. He added that he has “a mandate to find the formulas … that are as inclusive as possible”. In another interview published on Saturday, UN envoy said there is no ‘plan B’ if the peace negotiations fail in Geneva. De Mistura said that “The plan B, as far as we can see, is just a continuation of a horrible conflict which will go on and on and on”.
