Exclusive – RBSS

The world’s eyes to the Geneva Conference 3 being holds the first signs of a political solution and combines the opposition with the regime, after the regime was marginalizing the opposition and does not confess with their existence, saying that all his opponents are terrorist groups and armed, while he is sitting today forced in front of a delegation from the political opposition and forced to confess its existence.

The split among the Syrians was between supporters for the negotiations and any political solution that may result and between the likely military solution, but the largest percentage supported the negotiating team of opposition after seeing his firm and embraced the vision of millions of Syrians who want to end the suffering and the removal of the Assad regime, in the city of Raqqa summed up the real suffering as people are watching the negotiations closely While the world discusses the solution to negotiate with Assad, stationed in Raqqa another partner of him share his criminality and completes on the ground what Assad’s aviation could not do .

In turn, the team of “Raqqa is being slaughtered silence” conducted an opinion poll on opinions of civilians in the city of Raqqa of the Geneva conference, which included different age groups, but most of the opinions were looking for a solution to end the suffering in any way, said Rami 29 years old, a former teacher in the city , “the Geneva negotiations 3 are the first steps in the way of the solution in Syria and the disposal of the criminal Assad regime and the end of the Assad regime mean the end of ISIS also because the regime is the main nutrient for them,” while Sana college student said: that “Geneva 3 is a waste of time and will not differ much from Geneva 2 similar to the Geneva 1, and maybe it will be a prelude to the Geneva 4 who will decide to take place after a year which means the continuation of killings in the country. “

Saad 45 years old, talked about the possibility that Geneva is to be shifted in favor of the Syrian Revolution “Geneva 3, even if it will fail but it will be the first political victory that we might get, now is the regime is forced to negotiate who was considering them in yesterday’s germs and infiltrators, this shift is important for us we want to get rid of Assad so the terrorist groups will leave with him.”

In turn, Laila 38 years old, “she said I do not care to attend the Geneva I care what will result, all my care is to stop the killings and withdraw the terrorist militias supporting Assad and that Russia stop bombing civilians, I much whish that the world takes into account the suffering of millions of Syrians,” as Noor 32 years old said:, that “Geneva will succeed if he can enter food aid to Madaya and refugee camp of Yarmouk and Dir Elzor and Ghouta and give the freedom back to tens of thousands of detainees and stop the bombing, and if he could not achieve all of these rights that will push the world to the armed option which means more killing and destruction and perhaps the extremism of other groups.”

In spite of the poor performance of international envoy de Mistura and feeling the world with his bias to Assad regime and Russia, but the supreme body of the negotiations still can control the reins of things and stick to the demands of the people, despite of the international pressures that are exposed, today the body of the negotiations was able to get a lot of support and the support of activists who fired the Hachtag ‪#‎Committee‬of Supreme negotiations represent me.

Swiss query suspect in "Karachi Affair"

GENEVA: A key suspect in the French illegal political funding scandal known as the “Karachi Affair” has been questioned by investigators in Geneva, Swiss prosecutors said Monday.

Abdulrahman el-Assir, a Lebanese-born businessman subject to a French arrest warrant issued last November, was questioned on May 30 but was not placed in detention, a spokeswoman for the prosecutor’s office said.

There are no extradition proceedings under way, she added.

The “Karachi Affair”, as it is dubbed in the French media, is a complex probe into alleged kickbacks on arms deals.

Investigators are looking into irregularities in the financing of Edouard Balladur’s 1995 presidential campaign. Ex-president Nicolas Sarkozy was then-prime minister Balladur’s campaign spokesman and budget minister at the time.

Judges suspect Balladur’s campaign of receiving illicit “retro-commissions” from the sale of French submarines to Pakistan. Two Sarkozy political aides and a former minister are under formal investigation over the affair.

Assir, who is also wanted for questioning in Spain in a money laundering investigation, is a former associate of Franco-Lebanese businessman Ziad Takieddine, who has already been charged with graft in the investigation.

French investigators raided Assir’s Paris apartment several months ago but found it empty.

The suspect may soon be questioned in Switzerland by a French judge, according to legal sources.

Judges are also probing claims that a 2002 bombing in Karachi that killed 11 French naval engineers was carried out by Pakistani agents in revenge for the cancellation of bribes secretly promised to officials.

The payment of arms sales commissions was legal in France until 2000, but the payment of kickbacks back to France was and is illegal.

The probe focuses on the 1994 sale of submarines to Pakistan and frigates to Saudi Arabia, in which Assir and Takieddine are believed to have acted as middlemen.

Sarkozy loses his presidential immunity a month after leaving office on May 15 and could be called in for questioning, either as a witness or potentially as a suspect, in the case.

He has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing.
