Assad: Opposition to be part of transitional government
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad says the transitional government in his country should include independent forces, the opposition and forces loyal to the government.
Assad says the formation of the new government can be resolved in the Geneva talks. He made the remarks in an interview with Russia's RIA news agency. Assad also said the government and the opposition are formulating the basic principles, based on a UN document, for further negotiations. The Syrian president also rejected the idea of federalizing his country, stressing that the majority of Syrian Kurds want to live in a united Syria. Assad says the conflict has cost the country more than 200 billion dollars and restoring the infrastructure will take a long time.
