Press Statement

Moscow Platform

Representatives of the Moscow Platform for the Syrian Opposition in the Syrian Negotiation Commission (SNC) - Alaa Arafat, Youssef Salman, Sami Betinjane, Mohannad Dlykan - are heading to attend the SNC's next meeting on 2-3-4 June, in Geneva. This comes after an over 3.5 year interruption in the Platform's participation in any SNC activity, as a result of several pending controversial issues, especially since an arbitrary and illegal decision was taken against the Platform. The decision was to revoke the membership of one of the Platform's representatives in the SNC and its representative to the Syrian Constitutional Committee's Small Group, Mohannad Dlykan, after calling for transferring the Constitutional Committee's work to Damascus while securing the necessary guarantees for that, a position the Platform continues to see as the correct one and continues to demand it.

On Wednesday, 23 September 2020, Mr. Kamal Khalaf, a journalist, hosted on his program “The Game of Nations” on Al-Mayadeen Channel, the Secretary of the People’s Will Party and head of the Moscow platform, Dr. Kadri Jamil to talk about the latest developments in the political process and the situation inside Syria, as well as the details and prospects of the memorandum of understanding signed with the Syrian Democratic Council (SDC).

Press Release by Moscow Platform

On March 29, The Syrian Coalition of the Syrian Opposition held an internal virtual meeting, which was attended by some of the former independents within the Negotiations Commission as well as some representatives of the "military factions component", some of whom do not hide their explicit affiliation with the Coalition.

The collapse of the already precarious living situation of the overwhelming majority of Syrians has accelerated in the past two weeks. The catastrophic collapse of the Syrian pound is one of the important indicators of this collapse, which is a direct result of the delay in serious engagement in the process of political solution, a delay that deepens the Syrian humanitarian tragedy and worsens the bleeding Syrian wound, threatening to re-open the doors to all dangerous possibilities for the people and the country.

The leadership of Moscow Platform of the Syrian Opposition was informed by the Head of the Platform, Dr. Kadri Jamil, about the deliberations of his meeting today afternoon with Mr. Mikhail Bogdanov, Deputy Foreign Minister and Special Presidential Representative for the Middle East and Africa.

In the morning of the 30th of December, 2018, a press release was issued on behalf of the Information Office of the Syrian Negotiation Commission (SNC), protesting against the return of relations with Syria by some Arab countries, calling on those countries to review their positions and asking for their support to stand with the SNC.

In the past week, some media outlets have been talking about the expenses of the Syrian Negotiation Commission and about monthly salaries or monetary remuneration paid to its members.

A delegation from the «SNC» concluded its meetings, on Tuesday (December 4th), with the so-called Small Group in Washington. The tweets of the president of the delegation and his interviews, also the press release of the Commission, has shown the continuation of its leadership in its policy of identification with the Western powers, and with USA in particular, which is manifested in the following main issues:

The United States of America reaffirmed its destructive position and behavior towards our region in general and our country in particular, by its standing alone with the Zionist entity in the United Nations, in rejecting Syrian sovereignty over the occupied Syrian Golan.
