Syria Sees Direct Talks With Israel Possible

We hope the Israeli side would be serious about them (indirect talks) so that both sides would be able to hold direct negotiations.

Direct peace negotiations between Syria and Israel would be possible if the Jewish state showed seriousness in the indirect talks held in Turkey, Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Moualem said on Wednesday.

"We hope the Israeli side would be serious about them (indirect talks) so that both sides would be able to hold direct negotiations," Moualem told Reuters on the sidelines of a conference in the Bahraini capital.
