RT interviews Syrian opposition leader

It is interesting to have an extended interview with a member of the Syrian opposition on Russian TV. Perhaps this indicates a change in the stance of the Russian government?

‘We don’t want to negotiate with Bashar al-Assad’

The recent split within the Syrian military shows the government’s reliance on violence has failed. Peaceful protests are the way to bring about the kind of outcome people see as desirable, says the head of the Syrian Democratic Forum Delegation.

Syria’s problems are international, regional, pan-Arabic problems. They cannot be resolved unless the conflict between the regime and the opposition is resolved, Michel Kilo told RT.

Kilo had earlier been speaking to the Russian Foreign Ministry in Moscow.
