Isac added that Turkey, the Syrian regime and Iran reject the participation of representatives from Northeastern Syria represented by the Autonomous Administration with its political and military wings.
Isac stressed that those who should participate in drafting the constitution are the people of the Syrian interior who know very well the extent of the suffering experienced by the people of religions and components in Syria. In turn, a member of the Constitutional Committee, Dr. Dorsen Oskan, spoke about the nine Geneva meetings, and the lack of seriousness of all parties in order to reach a solution to the Syrian crisis.
Dr. Oskan added that constitutional issues were addressed in only one Geneva conference, while the rest of the sessions were a waste of time by the participating parties.
