Syria’s Vice President Farouk al-Sharaa called for a settlement between government forces and the opposition on Monday, arguing that the army is not capable of defeating the rebels, the Associated Press reports:
“I don’t see that what the security forces and army units are doing will lead to a definitive victory,” al-Sharaa was quoted as saying in the interview conducted in Damascus.
“All these opposition forces can only conclude the battle to topple the regime if their goal is to push the country into chaos and a cycle of violence that has no end,” he added.
