敘利亞問題談判步履艱難進入第二天

Fragile indirect negotiations to end Syria’s nearly five-year-old conflict went into a second day Tuesday in Geneva with both sides accusing each other of lacking good will.

U.N. Special Envoy for Syria, Staffan de Mistura, went into Talks Tuesday with a delegation representing the government of President Bashar al-Assad, a meeting that he had postponed from Monday while he convinced the opposition to stay on.

De Mistura declared the talks officially under way late Monday, following a two-hour meeting with the opposition.

“As far as we are concerned, their arrival to the Palais des Nations and initiating the discussion with us is the official beginning of the Geneva talks,” the U.N. envoy said.

The formal start came exactly one week after they were originally scheduled to begin.

Talks were delayed by discussions of who should represent the opposition, then by an opposition boycott and the opposition’s demands for an end to air strikes and a lifting of blockades on rebel-held areas.旨在結束敘利亞近五年衝突的間接談判步履艱難。日內瓦的談判星期二進入第二天，雙方相互指責缺少誠意。

聯合國敘利亞問題特使德米斯圖拉星期二與敘利亞總統阿薩德的代表團舉行會談。德米斯圖拉爲了說服反對派繼續參加談判把與敘利亞政府的會談從星期一推遲到星期二。

德米斯圖拉同反對派舉行兩小時會晤後星期一傍晚宣佈，談判正式展開。他說： “就我們而言，他們前來萬國宮與我們進行初步討論，就代表日內瓦談判的正式啓動。”

正式談判的啓動比原計劃晚了一星期。

由於討論反對派代表的人選問題，談判開始的時間被推遲，之後又因反對派的抵制再次被推遲，反對派還提出，要以結束空襲和解除對反政府力量控制區的封鎖爲先決條件。
