GENEVA (Sputnik) – Syria’s internal opposition group formed at the Hmeymim airbase proposed Friday to call a National Congress to end the deadlock in talks, during a series of informal meetings with Egyptian, Russian, Kazakh and Saudi delegates in Geneva.
"We discussed outlooks for forming either a separate delegation or calling a National Congress of 1,000 members – possibly in Damascus or Hmeymim – to seek a way out of this crisis," Ilyan Mosaad, the Hmeymim delegation’s head at the Geneva peace talks, told Sputnik.
Mosaad said that the Congress could become "an alternative to a transitional government" that would be comprised of representatives from all sides of the Syrian conflict.
"This could narrow the gap between the sides," he said.
The creation of a caretaker government in Syria has long been a divisive issue at the ongoing proximity talks in the Swiss city.
