'Syria opposition' criticizes Munich truce deal

A Saudi-backed so-called opposition group in Syria has criticized an international ceasefire plan for Syria that was reached recently in Munich.

According to Press TV, Riad Hijab, the head of the Syrian opposition group known as the High Negotiations Committee (HNC), said on Sunday that "we have gotten used to conferences and hope put into words but what we need is action.”

He also criticized Russia’s aerial campaign against Takfiri Daesh terrorists, claiming, "The Syrian people continue to live in terror and utter despair after the international community has failed to prevent the gravest crimes."

The International Syria Support Group (ISSG) agreed on Friday to a “cessation of hostilities” in Syria and to implement a ceasefire in a week. The ISSG members also asked the UN to resume the collapsed peace talks between the Syrian government and HNC that would represent a number of opposition groups in upcoming talks.
