In. That may or may not be allowed to have an impact they can predict with certainty. But i can tell you this when you see in the direct talks between the opposition and the outside regime. Will not be the full measure of effort being expended in order to try to find a solution here so without going in any further detail i want to say to use that to. Lots of different avenues will be pursued. Including continued support to the opposition and augment its support to the opposition as the next question will be from the tv the news that the koreans tv the bank is safe to say came on the question is on you know this confuse that come second sale of rest today is the speech. And as it does seem an eye to eye on that day and time to use this to me that i had to use more time and two. You know spend more time to think itd be a new time frame would tie in siebel this can be said for the geneva time to deliver the result being that what is on schedule though when is the alternative solution and that she knew that i just dont quite think you will were going talk about after geneva on the first day the cheapest parts. Who is in it. Today is the Opening Statements and. In the beginning of the negotiation is on friday i expect that theyll be a first round of the second time. Negotiations to end war is. Particularly complicated the difficult confrontations in conflicts like this sometimes take a long time din go back and look of bosnia. Costs alone. You can look it and other open conflicts. You can look that said dont go back as far as vietnam and think of ali hours and just deciding this shape of the table. Nicole year before they even began to talk. So talk takes a while. None of us are satisfied with leaving syria to the kind of horrendous acts. There have been engaged and which is why i said they will be. There will be parallel efforts being made even while the talks are going on in order to try to find different pressure points in different ways of finding a solution. Um but its my sense is that. This is already one of the worst catastrophes of humanitarian crises in the world today. He had upwards of nine Million People displaced and in refugee status. The burden and jordan is growing and significant burden on eleven on this growing in significance. The increase of the number of terrorists and groups. Is unacceptable to any nation that cares about stability. And and and the long term safety and security of our people. So this crisis is growing not diminishing. And i believe the impact is going to be continue to be felt in ways that can compel others to think in many different ways about what the options. Maybe as we go down the road. Im not going to go into those now. But it clearly the importance of today cannot be underestimated in terms of focusing. Peoples attention on the nature of the crisis in the ways in which it is actually getting worse not better. So um. Its up to all of us to do our best to try to make sure that geneva and or one of the parallel tracks works and im not going to talk about. Not to talk about the possibilities of the night finding some road forward. The next question will it be from that ken gannon said. Bbc news mr secretary. Thank you very much for taking your questions. Iran was disowned by tate from this conference because iran did not endorse the geneva communicate the band clearly as we saw today neither does the Syrian Government. And tehran is almost as much a part of the conflict as the Syrian Government. Can you really expect to make progress in the negotiations without finding a way to involve iran in the conversation at some point. And as a follow up to spend a month in the region and everybody i spoke to said that there is simply no way that things will get back to whether in syria or in the region. If you dont get iran and so to recap to talk to each other how can you help facilitate that. But im not going to go into the details of that but obviously were very aware of the oven. In the firm. A number of specific countries to be able to contribute to a solution rather than to be part of the problem. With respect to irans participation formerly in the conference it was very clear. What the standard was for participation. We never ever minced our words about that. We always said countries that want to support reliever juan. Which since twenty twelve. Has been the framework since june of twenty twelve that has been the framework for trying to resolve the problem this area and country after country after country has signed up to geneva one connecticut. So are you longing to do is ask yourselves why around lunchtime nap. And why theyre not here. Why didnt they signed up to. Why wont they agree as every other nation this. That this is the that didnt even know them in the Russian Federation signed up to it and was here in russia has been a critical partner in helping to bring us this far so i believe that two between russia and others efforts saudi arabia that was here so i really wanted the year but they decided that it was important and they came. So i think that and we have a Critical Mass building. And yes a rent certainly does have an ability to deal with a helpful them make a difference. We and who we hope that they would decide to be constructive and to make a decision. To operate in a way Going Forward that can allow them to do so there are plenty of ways that that door can be opened in the next weeks and months and my hope is that. They will want to join in a constructive solution meantime for one more question. Michelle and i from our current tv its going to venice this acutely as the us military options see on the table in dealing with the cia. Obama has never taken any option off the table in dealing with syria as the key made that very clear. When he made a decision to use military force is used in a the decision in the context of the chemical weapons the chemical weapons problem thats all that he left that issue on the table as it did leave it on the table. For the full compliance of syria with that agreement. So the president has fully left that option. On the table with respect to the compliance issue of the chemical weapons and depending on what happens in the future. The president never takes any option off the table. The jaw. But you know i know but everybody else does too. Our dear to us if it is safe. John kerry addressing reporters in montrose switzerland they want to geneva to peace talks peace talks where for the very first time in three years. You have rivals syrians allegations attending as you heard. Its been fractious its been fractious from the get go in just couple of minutes. It will be the topic of the false event gets debate of the two sides agreeing to sit down agree on precious little else in fact is beginning to the nitty gritty of actual negotiating there are doubts about how it will go. The un and arab league on whitlock start for the meat. Tomorrow im going to meet them separate. See how best we can move. Do we go straight on friday into one room and start discussing or do we dont need to do more. Separately. I dont know. Not all doom and gloom though says locke start bringing the um he says that said both of syrias warring sides are prepared to discuss improving access for its supplies prisoner swaps and local cease fire so there already. There are topics on which of the two sides can talk. Lets go to mt renowned corresponding jones eric austria. We will try to go to Court Injunctions are the strangest of a few moments. Um who will try to sue for truly it is up from his and its been a day of speeches from a some forty delegations attending times a bit fractious youll see why in a court to ensure moment that was annexed in a Heated Exchange between. The between a Heated Exchange between the syrian foreign minister in the u n secretary general the above that in a moment its just a reminder viewers are watching calls and text its time for the falls and gets debates. Syria peace talks under way in switzerland. First time. And its already fair to assume that im certain she knew that too. There will be a geneva free and its good to me before say observers damascus is pop rock or a wrong un invited by charles side showing no signs that said hes ready to step down in fighting on the grounds actually intensify and is making it a three way fight so what is the pool for starters. After three years of their finely actual series at the table size of the main backer russia pushing hard to geneva to to take part of russia in tandem with the United States just heard a lot of india said tuesday john kerry. With more than a hundred thousand killed and nearly half of serious population affected by the conflict either washington or moscow has an interest in a failed state that doubles as a haven for its at the heart of the middle east where this talk about it here in the falls and get the bait from abu dhabi. I saw how the fia. Hes the chief calmness that citgo thirty in the newspapers and National Also with us on to the chaff the spokesperson for some useless as an accompaniment of thanks for joining us thanks as well to former us diplomat in jordan postings included damascus. And joining us as well. Indian born attorney and analysts are divided on the slimy combat zones. And from london to him on stars hit the European Council on Foreign Relations who along with one of his colleagues and a piece earlier on that where there could be positive signs in and out comes out of these geneva to talk to us about that moment to pause and get to the weakness during the conversation on facebook and twitter are tied at two for tuesday. Um hardly an auspicious start talks that exchange to the un secretary general. The syrian foreign minister this wednesday. Im sorry the wrap up. Ten minutes to go within ten minutes since it could be useful when departments. I doubt i can be. Montreal is in the end of the i know you have. I have to stay few minutes to in my speech to not have to keep fluids down on online blog page who missed the opposition in the hopes of you is that you live in a new idea and sepia i have the bride to be made this year the investment. He and his borrow. Oh dear the New York Penn league and serie a when jordan um actually you know bali bomb them. Im not surprised all of the incident on the getting everything he was instructed to stay out there and to to do with as brutally and is effectively as he could never make its point and in the is under strict orders to get it all out and switch he was determined to do irrespective of whatever tune for the tone of these these meetings mean that we all know it will no doubt be discussing that in some detail later the syrians can talk about one thing Syrian OppositionUnited States and those who were behind the opposition came to talk about Something Else and i said. Only problem was determined to get all of his talking points out. Oleary had to do with the German Foreign stars see a Heated Exchange. To pour cold water on your hopes that said there could be some constructive outcomes at this conference because i think it will be so exactly was expected and in editing a new one. Full so full of soul. The maxi company today on either the regime side were on the opposition side in terms of moving towards a meaningful compromises with the negotiations that would end up anytime soon. Only say that we penned a piece of the animal positive yes but it was very much a question of lowering expectations that mean. Given the bit that romantic. The situation in syria and voting today. Its a question of taking the positives after a very difficult situation and i still think that this process and are taking the toll taken on photo the coming days away from the cameras and away from the limelight offer offer greater possibility for some limited progress. Some men in progress good to remind stars see the fact that there is no ceasefire is that undermined. All whats going on in switzerland. My hope is that the geneva that will come some form of sci fi i think that any hope of a political solution on a genie appeared in haiti daydreaming in the hope we can have on the fiscal front is beginning a princess. What you can form on a more tangible material results in the coming days sometimes these five perhaps humanitarian access. I think thats the end result of the next few days became hopeful rather than what we would expect going into this i saw him find you see a ceasefire as possible in the coming days. On that note nor long stamp but i can say that the commons and was among them were the highlight quite out of how out of touch the Syrian Regime isnt quite so where was mom and cody was flying to it and it doesnt take twelve hours in the atlanta get from damascus to switzerlands. Of course is that when you as the foreman is that of a regime that has been the best on three and only in mastering of civilians. Come to the neighbors dog whining about your own suffering. It says that frankly you have no concept of what is happening on the ground whats been happening the last three as in so thats why i think we are very unlikely to see any sort all serious progression the two sides are just holds the pumpkin walk the walk economists funny. Thing is i institutions missions. A number of weeks. This one be known when one man represents is in government in damascus control and inside the Syrian Coalition the team to represent themselves the vast majority of analysts agree that this coalition huge following months to actually fight ensued. Predominantly comprised of august. Cut into youtube funded by the sun so you how the situation whereby those who are supposed to represent in opposition the canyon floor and no clemency in people and build a high ball. Furthermore one of the major participants there was this the wrong how can you expect Anything Congress conference when one of the major actors in the second question can this poem. The event or Party Farming and kimchi. Sent in the colts brigades from iraq into conflict was the main backer with russia of the exhibition not being involved in discussions to even the discussion whereby once i didnt see or imagine correlation based on themselves. And the director has not demanded that again the argument that this conference is if were lucky there will be c span for sure that if youre lucky we may end up with a humanitarian corridor or some locals hes flying to back its prisoners some american war. Its been very unfortunate. So on to touch it. If it is never around a table its already Mission Accomplished because they got the two sides to sit at the same tape at the same Conference Call not even the same room at the same Conference Call. And now thats all we can expect well it depends on not only defined mission. I think it said. Maybe it first at the owner of a long way to venture it possible to invite said. I think there would be a necessity to two bucks thats who. Numerous for it to several stages before that and so moving step by step and perhaps to wheelock to him. Work and pressure and in discussions to be made rather i would see beyond the tv cameras because after all the while the opening session was there other usual exercise in frisbee team you know coming from from at least i did at the beginning of the conference. Once we were having a conference to each year for executing the two opposite sides have been dragged by school girl miles to the lively initiate years of it soon. Well you can only hope to get some results. The game with the knowledge right. And here i would share your opinion because air. I regret to very much the absence of iran and its much more useful and much more practical. And iran in an hour tops. I mean with all its possibilities too well you too to make the victim conference or the eventual Peace Process collapse. Just because and its not involved in teaching and by the storm barry education is not responsible for it. Its out of site you agree with but you also share of regret. Will is a very interesting points i stand i think i made the report was about the Syrian Opposition i think thats the right to have. They really dont have the support in the country that any of us would wish they are the only goal came in town with regard to iran i dont. While i do agree that the iranians need to have a stake in the process at the end of the day the rains have to accept the principle that was because they would not accept the principle of the Transitional Government away from the asad regime that ban ki moon isnt the point is that the iranians to have a role in the house to play a constructive one. Not a destructive one. This is the case or across the region just one short comments if you are sorry to even communicate that everyone is talking about going it doesnt well. Talks of course about the implementation of an executive government replacing. By a Mutual Consent of both so this also requires the consent of the damascus regime. So it is not as if you as soon as you can connect communicate. Go number one number two is a sad departure story we need to be made and sent them to get into the contest changing his mind. It is also the biggest cause of him running for reelection. So your top five months from when this was horrendous war god is going on for three years. Were talking about the end of the mandates of someone whos been in and is present in prisons in six months when jordan one of the reporters saying it yet the ring incident except that the conditions that need it to the Syrian Government and they were invited to become its. I think of me picking up on some of the points have been made here i mean i think that we need to not lose sight of the fact that this conference opening today. Was basically when addressing the opportunity for everybody to put out the back smallest positions. Nobody went into this including whatever he may and i think anybody attending. Expecting anything other than what we heard. I found it very interesting. I was unable. I was an unfortunate unable to see the whole thing. But before i left th
