October 30, 2013 by staff

Syria Peace Talks, The Assad regime fired a deputy prime minister a day after he said he met with the U.S. ambassador to Syria about proposed peace talks to end Syria’s civil war.
Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Affairs Qadri Jamil was dismissed for spending too much time outside the country, neglecting his duties and holding meetings “without authorization from the government,” the regime’s Syrian Arab News Agency and state TV reported Tuesday.

Jamil told reporters in Moscow Monday he met with U.S. officials about the peace talks between President Bashar Assad’s regime and the Syrian opposition proposed by Washington, Moscow and other world powers to be held in Geneva, Switzerland, in late November.
