Suleiman said: &#8220;We hope this will not happen, but we have no illusions that everything will go smoothly, however, we will resist those attempts in case they happen\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Suleiman added that once a round of negotiations begins, the Syrian government steps up its military operations, &#8220;to put maximum pressure on the opposition to suspend its participation, and bear it the consequences of disrupting the negotiating process rather than bear itself,&#8221; he said.<br \/>He explained that the solution for the opposition was lied in sticking to the negotiating option, and at the same time demand the international community to put pressure on the Syrian government to stop the use of violence, since it does not hesitate to use it whether there are negotiations or not.<br \/>fighting and violence will not stop, whether the opposition participated in the constitutional process or didn&#8217;t. &#8220;Nevertheless, the presence of terrorist organizations is a pretext for the regime to justify its violence, where it results in the biggest losses which are inflicted on civilians and infrastructures, that barely provide a minimum standard of living,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p>On the other side, the Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Moualem said during his speech in New York at the United Nations meeting before world leaders: &#8220;We are determined to continue our war against terrorism in all its forms until the last remaining terrorist is uprooted\u201d.<\/p><\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\"><\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\">He added that Idlib has become the largest haven of foreign terrorists in the world, pointing out that his government welcomed the political initiatives to address the situation in Idlib, and gave it longer than enough time.<\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\"><\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\">&#8220;Drafting the constitution doesn&#8217;t necessarily mean a political solution in Syria, because most of the files for which the revolution was founded were linked to the current constitution, which gives the president absolute powers at the expense of other institutions of government\u201d, Jamal Suleiman told-North Press.<\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\"><\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\">Suleiman concluded by saying that they have informed the Special Envoy of their desire to continue to negotiate on other issues and files, all of which were mentioned in the Security Council Resolution 2254, &#8220;especially the safe and neutral environment in which the Constitution is strictly enforced, and this in itself is the initiation of a political transition,&#8221; he said.<\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\"><\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\">On Monday, the 23th of September, the Secretary-General of the United Nations Antonio Guterres, announced that the formation of the Constitutional Committee has finally reached, after 20 months of attempts to form it. <\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\"><\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\">The decision to form the Constitutional Committee was taken during a meeting sponsored by Russia in Sochi regarding the Syrian crisis, of which its task was &#8220;formulating a constitutional reform that contributes to the political settlement sponsored by the United Nations\u201d, according to the Russian proposal at that time.<\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\"><\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\">The Constitutional Committee comprises 150 persons, 50 of whom were chosen by the Syrian government, 50 others were chosen by the Syrian opposition (basically based in Turkey), and the rest were chosen by the United Nations as &#8220;representatives of the civil society&#8221;.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Northern Syria &#8211;
