“According to official representatives, contacts with the (Syrian) regime were held from time to time, they were focused on specific issues,” the newspaper writes. “Sometimes key officials spoke to each other directly or through other persons, they sent messages through intermediaries such as Russia or Iran, the main allies of Assad.”
