Riyad Hijab, General Co-ordinator of the High Negotiations Committee (HNC) speaks at a press conference in central London on September 7, 2016.

:: Syrian opposition leader, Riyad Hijab has expressed the opposition’s resolve on the removal of Bashar al-Assad and his followers who are responsible for crimes against the Syrian people.

In a series of tweets, Hijab stated that claims by the Russian ambassador in Geneva about concessions by the opposition regarding Assad’s future was “purely media fraud and is contrary to professionalism and credibility”.

He also added that the Syrian people had already voiced their opinion regarding the regime, which the negotiating team has no right to ignore.

Meanwhile Spokesman for the opposition’s High Negotiations Committee (HNC) Munther Makhos said no results were achieved after the Geneva talks and, therefore, the opposition is sticking to the initial transition plan stipulated in the Geneva Declaration.
