Urging the Assad regime to enter into talks to avoid further violence, the leader of the Syrian opposition, Moaz Alkhatib, offered the regime a peaceful exit.

Suggesting the Assad regime's vice President, Farouq al-Shara, as a negotiator for the talks, Alkhatib said,

"I ask the regime to send Farouq al-Shara - if it accepts the idea - and we can sit with him,"

Speaking on Monday to Al Jazeera after talks with US, Russian and Iranian diplomats, Alkhatib said:

"The regime must take a clear stand (on dialogue) and we say we will extend our hand for the interest of people and to help the regime leave peacefully,"
