Then, the Minister of Foreign Affairs and his German counterpart replied to reporters' questions. On what should be done to resolve the Syrian crisis, Al-Jubeir stressed that Iran should withdraw from Syria, not supply the Assad regime with weapons and return to Iran the Shiite militias it sent, noting that it is difficult to have any role for Iran in Syria because it occupies an Arab land and contributes to the killing and displacement of innocent people. For his part, the German Foreign Minister explained that Syria is now in trouble and the international community must find a solution, stressing that in the long run there is no future for Syria with Bashar al-Assad. On political transition in Syria, Al-Jubeir said, "We have accepted the principles of the Geneva 1 and the establishment of a governmental body that takes care of the state's institutions, as well as the writing of a new constitution and new law for elections. The body shall have government authority to begin reconstruction and return of displaced persons. The body may participate in the formation of the government. After the formation of the government, Assad should step down, stressing that there is no role for Assad in Syria's future. There is no future for the Assad's stay to participate in the elections. He is responsible for the deaths of more than 300 thousand people and the displacement of millions of Syrians. With respect to the nuclear agreement with Iran, the Foreign Minister of Germany stressed that commitments must be implemented and monitored, noting that this is not an easy path, but it is an available option in the Middle East to improve the situation in the region and stop the negative circle in the region. --More 00:04 LOCAL TIME 21:04 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
