Algiers: Nabil el-Arabi urged for the establishment of a political process for the establishment of peace in the crisis-stricken Syria.
“Political process in Syria cannot take effect without a ceasefire,” he said at a joint press conference in Algiers with Mourad Medelci, Algerian foreign minister, AFP reported.
He said that a global ceasefire and the beginning of apolitical process were the two main points in which there was an international consensus. A political solution cannot be achieved without a ceasefire, he added.
While talking about UN-Arab League envoy Kofi Annan’s peace plan for Syria, he said the step had helped curb the violence in the country.
Earlier, three military officials in the city of Hama and a physician in Dara’a were killed on Monday by armed groups, a day after UN observers had visited the cities to monitor the implementation of Annan’s peace plan.
The UN observers also visited the crisis-hit cities of Rastan and Homs on Sunday.
The first group of UN observers arrived in Damascus on April 16.
On April 21, the UN Security Council unanimously approved a resolution to send a mission of 300 observers to Syria.
