In an exclusive interview with CNN's Frederik Pleitgen, Haidar said all parts of the Syrian government should be up for negotiation.

    in the current scenario this appears far fetched.
    "Israeli president Peres throws his weight behind US for arming rebels".News
    "Rebels get Saudi missiles" news
    " Israel behind Damascus airstrike killing 10" news.

    All it takes is some weapons and money and you can take over any country in the world where the citizens have nothing.
