Syrian elections will damage chances of political solution says international community

The international community today condemned the Syrian government’s plans to hold elections this summer on June 3 2014, reports the BBC.

The United Nations Secretary General, deemed the election problematic, warning that it could spoil efforts to end the 3 year civil war.

A state department spokesperson warning of the dangers of elections amidst oppression said,
“Calling for a de-facto referendum rings especially hollow now as the regime continues to massacre the very electorate it purports to represent.”
He further warned that it would “damage political process and hamper the prospects for a political solution."
