SYRIA PEACE CONFERENCE MAY NOW TAKE PLACE IN JULY – JOINT UN-ARAB
LEAGUE ENVOYNew York, Jun 5 2013 2:00PMFurther steps have been taken
towards the convening of an international conference on Syria but it
will not be possible to hold it this month as planned, the Joint
Special Representative of the United Nations and the Arab League for
Syria, Lakhdar Brahimi, said today.

"There is still a lot of work to do to bring a conference about. For
this reason, we have come to the conclusion today that it will not be
possible to hold this conference in June," Mr. Brahimi told reporters
in Geneva following talks with senior United States, Russian and UN
officials.

"We will be continuing our consultations with Russia and the United
States to see about windows of opportunity to hold the conference as
soon as possible – hopefully, in July," he said, adding that the three
parties will meet again in the Swiss city on 25 June.

"The situation in Syria is absolutely tragic," Mr. Brahimi stated. "I
think it is embarrassing for us that we are not capable of holding
this conference already."

At the same time, he explained that the opposition still has work to
do to prepare for the conference and to put together a delegation that
is acceptable to the various opposition groups. "Obviously, the
conference can't take place without them," he said, adding that a
major sticking point is that the Syrian sides "are not ready."

Russian and US officials announced last month their intention to
convene an international conference to find a political solution to
the Syria crisis, which has claimed more than 70,000 lives since
fighting between the Government and opposition forces seeking to oust
President Bashar Al-Assad began in March 2011. The crisis has also
left 6.8 million people in need, and sent over 1.5 million Syrians
fleeing to neighbouring countries to seek refuge.

"We all firmly agreed that a political solution to the crisis in Syria
is the only solution possible… The catastrophe on the ground is
alarming," said Mr. Brahimi. "That tragedy has got to come to an end,
for the sake of Syria and its people.

He said that the parties meeting today have agreed that the 'Geneva
Conference on Syria' will be held under the auspices of the UN
Secretary-General, with Russia and the US playing an important role
throughout the process.

The goal of the conference, he added, will be to achieve a political
solution to the conflict in Syria through a comprehensive agreement
between the Government and the opposition for the full implementation
of the Geneva communiqué of 30 June 2012.

Issued after a meeting of the Action Group for Syria, the document
lays out key steps in a process to end the violence. Among others, it
calls for the establishment of a transitional governing body, with
full executive powers and made up by members of the present Government
and the opposition and other groups, as part of agreed principles and
guidelines for a Syrian-led political transition.Jun 5 2013 2:00PM
