Spokesman: Ansarullah to attend UN-backed Yemen peace talk in Geneva

Moscow, June 8, IRNA -- Ansarullah Spokesman Mohammed Abdulsalam welcomed the United Nations' invitation to Yemen's political groups to take part in the upcoming Geneva peace talks. Abdulsalam made the remarks in a meeting with Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov in Moscow on Monday. Abdulsalam's remarks came after the United Nations announced on Saturday that it would convene peace talks between Yemen's warring factions in Geneva, Switzerland, on June 14. 'The Ansarullah movement welcomes the UN-sponsored peace talks in Geneva,' the Ansarullah spokesman said on Monday. The UN-sponsored peace talks with the aim of achieving a political solution to the crisis in Yemen have been postponed due to Saudi Arabia's antagonistic efforts. On Thursday, Ansarullah rejected the conditions set by fugitive Yemeni President Mansour Hadi for the resumption of peace talks. Ansarullah's rejection came in reaction to the recent statements of Hadi who proposed new conditions for peace talks in Yemen. 'This movement will take part in the (upcoming) Geneva peace talks without any preconditions,' Ansarullah Spokesman Zeifollah al-Shami said. In relevant remarks in April, a senior member of Ansarullah also rejected the Hadi's conditions for peace talks. 'No one from the camp of the fugitive and ousted Yemeni president (Mansour Hadi) can set conditions for resumption of talks,' Anatolian news agency quoted Al-Bokhaiti as saying at the time. He called on all Yemeni political groups to return to the negotiating table and continue their talks under the auspices of the United Nations.
