Munich: The Syrian opposition is fully committed to peace talks in Geneva on February 23, a senior official said on Sunday, adding the talks would need to pave the way for a political transition.
"We are fully committed for the Geneva talks," Syrian National Coalition president Anas al-Abdah told delegates at the Munich Security Conference. "We cannot address the profound security threats... while Assad remains in power," he said.
Brett McGurk, the United States` envoy to the coalition against Islamic State, said the new US administration was still reviewing its Syria position, but that it was seeking a role to reinforce Russian and Turkish efforts to cement a ceasefire in the country.
