De Mistura: Political solution is only solution for crisis in Syria

Vienna, SANA – UN Special Envoy on Syria Staffan de Mistura asserted that the political solution is only solution for the crisis in Syria, and that President al-Assad is part of that solution.

After his meeting with Austrian Foreign Affairs Minister Sebastian Kurz on Friday, de Mistura said that ISIS is the only side that benefits from the lack of a solution in Syria, describing ISIS as a monster that wants the conflict to continue so that it can exploit it.

He asserted his conviction that the only solution is the political solution, and that President Bashar al-Assad is part of the solution and he will continue to hold discussions with him.
