DAMASCUS, Jan. 28 (Xinhua) -- Just days ahead of the Russian-backed Syrian talks in Sochi, the U.S. camp attempted to derail the Russian efforts to find a solution to Syria's long-standing conflict by shaking the ground ahead of the Russian-supported talks.


Russia has for some time been preparing for the Syrian talks in Sochi slated for 29-30 of this month, inviting 1,600 people to the Russian Black Sea resort of Sochi for the Congress of National Dialogue aimed at resolving the years-long crisis in the Arab country.


Last December Da'Ron Payne Color Rush Jersey , Russia, Iran, and Turkey agreed to hold the congress in Sochi. At the time, the Syrian government was quick to accept to take part in the congress, which is expected to tackle issues such as the constitution and elections in Syria.


Ahead of Sochi, the UN special envoy to Syria Vernon Davis Color Rush Jersey , Staffan de Mistura, called for a meeting in Vienna for the opposition and government sides to discuss constitutional issues.


On Jan. 18, De Mistura's deputy Ramzi Ezzedine Ramzi said during a visit to Damascus that the Syrian government had agreed to take part in the planned Syrian talks in Vienna, Austria.


Ramzi hoped for a positive engagement in the Vienna talks, linking the success of the Vienna talks with the success of the Sochi talks in Russia.


At the time, observers in Damascus expressed worries about the sudden timing of Vienna talks just a couple of days ahead of Sochi Ryan Kerrigan Color Rush Jersey , questioning the intentions of the Western backers of the Vienna meeting.


Sure enough, the delegations of the Syrian government and the opposition attended the Vienna talks mediated by De Mistura on Thursday and Friday, agreeing to nothing in that meeting but an alleged cease-fire in the rebel-held Eastern Ghouta countryside of Damascus that was supposed to go into effect at midnight Saturday.


Several Arab media outlets have reported the cease-fire agreement, citing opposition figures. However, Damascus remained tight-lipped about the reports and activists reported shelling on Saturday and a wide-scale rebel offensive on Sunday against a key military base in Harasta city.


Moreover, the chief negotiator of the government delegation Jordan Reed Color Rush Jersey , Bashar al-Jaafari, said following the talks that his delegation has rejected a document presented by the group of five: the United States, France, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and the United Kingdom.


The document was said to violate the Syrian people's right to self-determination and contradicts the UN Security Council resolution 2254.


According to media leaks Josh Norman Color Rush Jersey , the document determines in advance the future of Syria as a state when it comes to the nature of the parliament and the powers of the president.


In response, Jaafari said that Damascus would not accept the paper as it undermines the Geneva process and Syrian National Dialogue Congress in Sochi.


In remarks to reporters, Jaafari said the document presented by the Western countries and some of their Arab allies contradicts international resolutions and aims to undermine the Geneva talks and the Sochi Congress.


Jaafari said that it is no coincidence that the Vienna meeting coincided with the "leaking" or intentional distribution of an "informal paper" for the so-called revival of the political process in Geneva about Syria by representatives of five countries, "all of whom have been involved in shedding Syrian blood since the beginning of the crisis."


He went on to say that "this failed attempt" seeks to undermine the Geneva talks, the Sochi Congress, and any prospects for the political solution in Syria because this is consistent with its authors' destructive policy in the region.


Osama Danura Alex Smith Color Rush Jersey , a Syrian political expert, told Xinhua that the American side wanted to precede the Sochi congress by reshuffling the political and military cards to negatively impact the outcome of the Sochi congress.


The U.S. and its Western allies, as well as their Arab friends, have put forward the "informal document" that has a negative impact, because, on the legal part Trent Williams Color Rush Jersey , it violates the international law in allowing the people to decide their political future and also undermines the sovereignty of the country.


"They wanted to apply their vision of the future of Syria and how the country will be ruled according to their own vision," Danura said, adding that such a vision encroaches upon the Syrian people's rights of determining the future of their country.


Danura also spoke about the timing of presenting this document in the Vienna talks, saying that "the sudden and out-of-context timing of the Vienna talks ahead of Soc.
