He added: “The United States presented its position in many official meetings with the coalition or in its official statements, as well as a number of European countries interested in the Syrian issue.”
He explained, “It is expected that the mainstay of this position is the implementation of Resolution 2254 with regard to the four baskets and the realization of the real political transition in addition to issues related to transitional justice limited to the release of detainees, lifting the siege on besieged cities, the fate of the missing, and achieving civil peace, and this matter needs to be monitored by nations.
The United States and that the opposition have a major role in proving that these points and demands have been fulfilled for that and so far these demands largely intersect with the demands and positions of the coalition, and this is what the United States of America confirmed in the tenth anniversary of the Syrian revolution.
