De Mistura rules out holding elections while ‎Assad is in power ‎
The UN Syria envoy Staffan de Mistura said ‎that elections could not be held while Assad ‎regime is still in power, reiterating that the ‎political solution is still in the core of Geneva ‎talks which are set to be held on the 23rd of ‎March.  ‎

De Mistura said in an interview on ‎Al-Arabiya that the Astana ceasefire deal ‎was still holding saying the mitigating the ‎violence will help in Geneva talks.   ‎

De Mistura already said the Assad delegation put ‎forward a suggestion on exchanging detainees ‎and prisoners of war which should be taken up ‎in Astana.‎

The first UN-led peace talks in almost a year ‎ended last week without breakthrough but ‎the United Nations mediator previously said ‎the warring parties now had a clear agenda to ‎pursue a political solution to the country’s ‎Assad war.
