Syrian National Coalition refuses to participate in Geneva 2 without deterring the regime from using explosive barrels in Aleppo

ARKNews: A statement issued by the opposition Syrian National Alliance announced, that it will not participate in the conference «Geneva 2» on 22 next month, unless the Syrian regime stops bombing Aleppo in the north of the country.
"It is shameful for the international community to take action against chemical weapons and allow the regime to kill the Syrian people with conventional weapons in a systematic and daily manner," he said. The statement quoted Secretary-General Bader Jamous as saying that "if the bombing of the Assad regime continues and its attempt to liquidate the Syrian people, the coalition will not go to the Geneva conference." "If countries cannot put pressure on the regime to stop its operations in mass destruction, how can it pressure the regime in Geneva to move towards a political solution and the implementation of the Geneva Conventions?" "The Russians have been approached to pressure Assad, who is killing Syrian people with Russian missiles to thwart the negotiating process," Jamous said.
