Information Minister Omran al-Zoubi stressed that Syria has already expressed readiness to go to the Geneva 2 conference without preconditions, but that does not mean it will negotiate with terrorists or Takfiris [Islamic extremists who declare other Muslims to be infidels].
A "political solution has been the original choice for the Syrian government since the beginning of aggression against Syria," al-Zoubi said.
In a phone call with al-Manar TV channel, al-Zoubi said that Syria wants a national Syrian political dialogue that makes the national interest a priority. He pointed out that Syria will not negotiate with terrorists who took part in shedding Syrians' blood, or with their supporters, whether or not they were Syrians.
