"Following the meeting of the ISSG, a document will be represented. It sets out measures to maintain the cessation of hostilities throughout the territory of Syria, as well as issues of humanitarian access," said the agency's interlocutor. According to him, the fate of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad is not mentioned in the text.
Earlier, Russia and the United States issued a joint appeal on Syria. The document discussed the most acute problems that impede the establishment of peace in the country. In particular, countries agreed to identify the territory controlled by the Islamic State and "Jabhat al-Nusra", and "to consider decisive action" against them. In addition, Russia and the United States promised to "exert pressure" on the parties to the conflict to ensure the delivery of humanitarian assistance in some isolated areas. These proposals were assessed as "positive" at the meeting of the "Friends of Syria Group".
And yet Kerry (Vietnam protester turned Deep State apologist) keeps hopefully bleating about a 'transitional government', where there was no such agreement.
As usual, the glorious freedom-loving US of A authorities only recognizes democracy when it suits their purposes. Such as recognizing Kosovo but not Crimea,
Let's willfully ignore the fact the Mr. President Dr. Bashar Al-Assad won multi-party democratic elections, overseen by UN observers, by a majority that most western leaders would bleed for, back in early 2014. Let's ignore the fact that recent lower house elections majorly backed the Damascus government. And the fact that Dr. Bashar Al-Assad has agreed to new presidential elections later this year (not five years after his last overwhelming victory, something that no US president would agree to).
Yet Kerry still attempts to claim that Dr. Bashar Al-Assad's government has no legitimacy.
Mr. Kerry has lost all moral authority, he has become nothing more than a talking head, who no-one but the gullible and mainstream media listens to, defending jihadists for chaos sake. That is what US realpolitic has descended to.
