阿薩德去留問題在敍利亞和平會議引起激辯

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's political future has been a divisive issue as delegations from more than 30 countries, the United Nations and Syria's warring sides meet for a long-awaited peace conference in Switzerland.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry sharply criticized the Syrian government Wednesday, saying the country's crisis began as soldiers used "increasing force" against peaceful demonstrations. He said that because the government and opposition differ on Mr. Assad's fate, the Syrian leader cannot be a part of a mutually agreed transitional government.

"There is no way, no way possible in the imagination that the man who has led the brutal response to his own people could regain the legitimacy to govern."

Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Moallem told Kerry that only Syrians have the right to choose their president. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov also reiterated his country's stance that other nations should not have a say in Syria's affairs.來自30多個國家、聯合國以及敍利亞交戰方的代表團在瑞士召開期盼已久的和平會議，敍利亞總統巴沙爾·阿薩德的政治未來從一開始便成為引起分歧的話題。

美國國務卿約翰·克里星期三尖鋭批評了敍利亞政府。他説，在敍利亞危機剛開始的時候，政府軍針對和平示威使用武力並不斷加劇。他説，由於敍利亞政府和反對派在阿薩德何去何從的問題上有分歧，一個經過雙方同意組建的過渡政府不能有他的位置。

克里説：“根本就不可能想象，一個領頭殘暴對付本國人民的人，能夠重新獲得執政的合法性。”

敍利亞外長瓦立德·穆阿里姆對克里説，只有敍利亞人才有權選擇他們的總統。俄羅斯外長謝爾蓋·拉夫羅夫也重申了俄方的立場，也就是敍利亞事務不能由其它國家説了算。
