Damascus replied with a one word on the Qatari initiative: Rejected.

Qatar Conciliates Syria, Receives Rejection

Local Editor

The Qatari regime seeks the Syrian satisfaction.

This isn't a dream. However, after the failure of all attempts to topple the Syrian regime, Qatar sought to open dialogue with Damascus.

"Al-Akhbar" Lebanese daily revealed Tuesday that "days ago, an Arab figured arrived suddenly to Damascus International Airport."

"The figure requested a quick appointment with the Syrian leadership to display a message from Doha, under the title "the Qatari-led initiative to resolve the Syrian crisis"."

According to the daily's sources, the initiative is comprised of several points:

-First, reconciliation and turning the page of conflict between the two countries.
This will open the door to a new phase of cooperation so that Doha will lead the efforts and initiatives to resolve the internal Syrian crisis.

- Second, the initiative suggests a map solution of several items on top of which are: a Syrian Prime Minister from the Sunni Muslim Brotherhood Movement, and a Qatari invitation to the Syrian opposition to hold a conference in Doha.
In this context, Qatar pledges to pressure on the Syrian opposition to accept a dialogue with the Syrian regime.

- The initiative also offers other items that assure to the opposition guarantees from the Syrian regime. This would help the opposition move from fighting the Syrian regime to open a climate of dialogue and positive interaction with it.

In response, Damascus replied with a one word on the Qatari initiative: Rejected.

According to "al-Akhbar" sources, Damascus position from Doha isn't based on acting as a mediator to solve the crisis. Syria wants Qatar to declare explicitly that it retreated from arming the opposition and plotting with the foreign agenda to destabilize Syria. Out of these titles, Syria isn't ready not to listen to any other Qatari word.
"
Through this move, it is clear that the Doha wanted to test, on behalf of other countries, Damascus readiness to accept a Syrian Taef Accord for national reconciliation," sources told the daily.

This would be similar to the Lebanese Taef held in Saudi Arabia in the early nineties of the last century to stop the Lebanese civil war.

The sources further uncovered that months ago, such a project was offered to Syria, in details, by Arab, regional, and Western countries through Moscow.
"However, Damascus rejected," the sources concluded.
