Annan hails 'constructive' talks with Assad

Aljazeera Online
International envoy Kofi Annan has said he agreed with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad on an "approach" to end Syria's conflict that would be put to the rebels.
Annan said talks with Assad in the Damascus yesterday were "constructive and candid", echoing Syrian foreign ministry spokesman Jihad Makdissi who described the meeting as "constructive and good".
"We discussed the need to end the violence and ways and means of doing so. We agreed an approach which I will share with the armed opposition," Annan told reporters after the meeting.
Annan is set to leave for Tehran later in the day, according to an Iranian state news agency.
Annan, visiting Damascus for the third time since the uprising began 16 months ago, is the architect of the most prominent international plan to violence that has left thousands of people dead.
The six-point plan was to begin with a cease-fire in mid-April between government forces and rebels seeking to topple Assad, but the truce never took hold.
Almost 300 UN observers sent to monitor
the cease-fire are now confined to their hotels because of the escalating violence.
In an interview with Le Monde on Saturday, Annan said that "the evidence shows that we have not succeeded".
He stressed that those opposed to Western plans for resolving the crisis should not be sidelined.
"Russia wields influence, but I am not sure that the events will be determined by Russia alone... Iran is an actor. It has to be part of the solution. It has influence and we cannot ignore it," Annan told the French newspaper.
Annan also expressed irritation that while Russia and Iran were mentioned by some as stumbling blocks to peace, 'Tittle is said about other countries which send arms, money, and have a presence on the ground".
Assad, meanwhile, accused the US of assisting "gangs" to destabilise his country, in an interview aired on German public broadcaster ARD on Sunday.
"As long as you offer any kind of support to terrorists, you are partner. Whether you send them armaments or money or public support, political support in the United Nations, anywhere," said Assad.
