On Friday, Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh unveiled his peaceful initiatives to resolve the situation in the country, calling on the Saudi Arabia-led international coalition and Houthi rebels to stop all military action.
"The situation in Yemen is more complicated than Saleh's initiative that has no value and cannot be implemented," Yassin said.
The first point of Saleh's initiative was the immediate cessation of all military activities by the Saudi Arabia-led coalition. In the second point the former president urged Houthi rebels and all other armed formations in the country to put an end to hostilities in Yemen at once.
Saleh also called for the end to the looting of public institutions and military units across the country.
The final point of the initiatives envisaged all sides of the Yemeni conflict returning to UN-mediated talks with the goal of resolving the existing issues and bringing the transition period to an end.
Yemen is being torn by an armed conflict, with Houthi militias fighting troops loyal to President Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi. In an attempt to counter the Houthis' advance, Hadi asked the Arab League for military aid, with a number of countries subsequently launching airstrikes on the insurgents' positions.
The country is also being threatened by al-Qaeda militants who are trying to gain more prominence in Yemen's south.
