Envoys: Syria Peace Talks Stalled over Political Transition The sources said the talks had broken up with no progress after the Syria envoys set out a statement of principles aimed at preserving state institutions and stopping the threat from terrorist groups, Al-Alam reported. The opposition rejected the statement, saying talks needed to focus on a political transition based on their own will, and UN mediator Lakhdar Brahimi ended the session, the sources said. A source close to Syria envoys told AFP the opposition had rejected discussion of anything other than the creation of a transitional government based on their own demand. The government delegation presented a statement on essential principles to save Syria, the State and its people from extremist terrorism, the source said. As soon as it finished the Coalition rejected this statement and demanded that we talk only of a transitional body. Mr Brahimi then adjourned the session, the source said. Monday marked the third day of UN-sponsored talks between the two sides in Geneva and the first expected to deal with political issues. english.farsnews/newstext.aspx?nn=13921107001280
