...The Syrian President urged European nations to assist the talks by providing a suitable third party negotiator. "As far as it concerns us in Syria we have national support to continue talks with Israel Assad said. 'We call on European countries to also give their contribution, to help Turkey but also us to be able to resume from where we have stopped,' the Syrian leader added. The last four rounds of talks with Syria were held by former Israeli prime minister Ehud Olmert's government last year, under Turkish mediation. Syria froze contact with Israel in protest of Israel's offensive in the Gaza Strip last winter. Negotiations have been frozen since. Earlier this month Syria said it was willing to resume the Turkish-mediated talks if they focus on a complete Israeli withdrawal from the Golan Heights. But Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said he is not willing to cede the territory Syria wants. Israel's relations with Turkey have been strained recently, with harsh criticism in Israel over Turkey's cancellation of its participation in a joint international military drill. Following the cancellation of the drill Israeli officials said that while the negotiations with Syria should continue, they should not be handled by Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan. Turkey on the other hand was willing to resume its role as mediator between the two countries. The previous talks have focused on the question of the Golan Heights, a territory which the Syrian government seeks. Israel wants a peace deal including diplomatic recognition by Syria and other political concessions. But Israel has said Syria does not want a peace deal and has demanded Damascus stop insisting on the return of the Golan as a precondition for talks."
