NNA - Going to Geneva doesn't imply talking to Takfeerist terrorists, Syrian Information minister 'Umran Zu'bi told Damascus-based NNA field reporter Jumana Khouri today.
While we are ready to go to Geneva without preconditions, he retorted, we want a Syrian-Syrian dialogue that would ensure only sovereignty above anything else and we've got nothing to fear of or lose in saying this.
Dialogue must have two parties willing to acknowledge the state as their last repository of hope; they must acknowledge the existence of a unified people and regime setting itself as a prototypical model of peaceful coexistence, Zu'bi concluded.
