Syria ready to resume talks with Israel
DAMASCUS: Syrian President Bashar al-Assad said that his country was ready to resume suspended talks with Israel and called on European nations to help in the process.
"As far as it concerns us in Syria we have national support to continue talks with Israel," Assad said.
"However, there is a condition that on the Israeli side we also have those who want to continue the negotiations," he added after meeting his Croatian counterpart Stipe Mesic.
The Syrian head of state praised Turkey's efforts in the process and stressed that the presence of a "third side" would be necessary if the talks resume.
