Deputy Syrian Foreign Minister Faisal al-Mikdad said that the official governmental delegation of Syria is ready to discuss the formation of a transitional government in Syria. Earlier the Syrian opposition refused to discuss any issues on settling the conflict in the country with government delegates until debates over the creation of a transitional government in Syria take place.

"We are ready to discuss all the issues, but we want to stick to the order, stipulated by the Geneva communique," he told the journalists.

Earlier today SNC spokesperson Louay Safi said: "They say we should first discuss Geneva communiqué provisions and then the creation of a transitional government. It’s wrong. It’s like putting the cart before the horse."
