We call on all parties to seize the opportunity as the aspiration for a political resolution is becoming stronger, think about convening the third Geneva conference on the Syrian issue, push for the resumption of an inclusive political transition process that draws together all conflicting parties with no preconditions attached and no outcomes prejudged, and enable the Syrian people to decide the future of the country based on their own will with the help of the international community and the support of the UN Security Council.
