Syria's HNC Restructuring Negotiations Team after Alloush's Resignation
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – The Syrian opposition High Negotiations Committee (HNC) is reorganizing the negotiations team after chief representative in the Geneva talks Mohammed Alloush announced a decision to leave his post, a source close to the talks told Sputnik on Monday.
On Sunday, Alloush announced his resignation over the failure of the UN-mediated Geneva peace talks to bring a political settlement in Syria.
"The HNC is now changing the composition of their negotiations team," the source said.
A Syrian government delegation, as well as three opposition groups — the Riyadh-formed HNC, the Moscow-Cairo and the Hmeimim groups have been taking part in the Geneva talks.
The latest round of intra-Syrian talks took place on April 13-27. The HNC walked out of the negotiations, citing the continuous fighting in Syria and the lack of progress on humanitarian issues.
