Syrian Government Refuses to Negotiate With Terrorists at Geneva Talks
"All the humanitarian issues will be discussed during negotiations when they begin in Geneva, and we will show [UN Syria Envoy Staffan] de Mistura the entire picture," Bashar Jaafari said.

The absence of an agenda at the Geneva talks demonstrates the lack of commitment by the Syrian opposition delegation, the head of the government delegation said.

"Has the other side taken a more serious approach, it would have come with a national agenda."

The Saudi Arabian and French foreign ministers seem to be acting as the opposition's press secretaries, he added.
