Annan mission unlikely to work Letter Published in The National Uae on 5March 12

Your article Annan trying to sell the impossible (February 4) was good to read and it is right in saying Kofi Annan's mediation mission in Syria is impossible.

When Mr Annan was the UN's secretary general, his rigorous efforts to solve the Iraq issue at the time failed. The new task in Syria is unlikely to yield any results.

The Syrian people and President Bashar Al Assad should engage in a dialogue for a peaceful transition.
