GENEVA (Sputnik) – The HNC delegation may return to the peace talks if it sees changes in humanitarian deliveries and power transition, according to Asaad Zoubi.
"The international community has not fulfilled its role and has not put enough pressure on the regime in order to make it agree on the formation of a transitional governing body. It also failed to fulfill its obligations in humanitarian aid deliveries. If there are changes on these two aspects, then of course the HNC will decide to change its decision on their participation in negotiations process", Asaad Zoubi told Sputnik.
A new round of proximity talks between the Syrian government and opposition delegations began in Geneva last week. On Monday, HNC walked out of the talks, citing ceasefire violations by government troops as the reason for the move.
"We are not coming back before our conditions are satisfied… Too many parties tried us to convince us stay here, but as [HNC head] Riyad Hijab said there are conditions to satisfy," Zoubi told journalists.
A Sputnik correspondent reported earlier on Thursday that Zoubi and HNC chief negotiator Mohammed Alloush were leaving Geneva.
Up to five of the 15 members of the delegation stayed in Geneva, HNC adviser Ahmed Kamel told Sputnik earlier in the day.
