Syrian Prime Minister Wael al- Halqi has blamed the western countries of not being serious enough about finding a political solution to the Syrian crisis, while reiterating his government's commitment to such a solution to the 28-month conflict.

"The West and America and some Arab countries are not serious about finding a political solution in Syria, and they are still supporting the rebels with arms and ammunition," reported Xinhua citing the Syrian prime minister during a TV interview.

Meantime, al-Halqi stressed his country's willingness to participate in any conference that would be conducive to finding a solution to the crisis, particularly the long-awaited Geneva peace conference.

 

He pointed out "the other party has neither clear stances nor clear vision", adding there were contradictions among the opposition ranks.

On May 7, Moscow and Washington said they had agreed to hold an international conference in Geneva designed to facilitate a solution to the Syrian crisis through a political dialogue.
