U.S. President Donald Trump and European Union leaders should increase the pressure on President Bashar al-Assad and his allies Russia and Iran to return to talks to end Syria’s civil war, Syria’s chief opposition negotiator said, Reuters reports.
Nasr Hariri, the chief negotiator for Syria’s main opposition grouping, said that unless the West forced President Assad and his big power allies to seek peace then the blood of Syrian civilians would continue to be spilled.
"I would like to ask all those countries that promised they would support the Syrian people and their aspirations for democracy and peace: why didn’t they fulfill their promises?" Hariri, speaking in English, told Reuters in London.
