Syria condemns Tunis meeting, ICRC "no concrete results" in evacuation
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) said on Saturday it had been unable to enter the besieged Baba Amro district of Homs in Syria after a day of talks with Syrian authorities and opposition groups in the city.   

"The ICRC and the Syrian Arab Red Crescent have been negotiating with the Syrian authorities and opposition groups in Homs since this morning. However, negotiations led to no concrete results," Hisham Hassan, an ICRC spokesman, said.   

"Unfortunately we will not be able to enter Baba Amro today. We continue our negotiations, hoping that tomorrow (Sunday) we will be able to enter Baba Amro to carry out our life saving operations. The Syrian Arab Red Crescent continues to carry out evacuations of wounded persons in other affected areas of Syria today and they carried out two evacuations in neighbourhoods in Homs other than Baba Amro".

Syria earlier condemned statements issued by participants at the "Friends of Syria" conference in Tunis, official state television said on Saturday, dubbing the gathering of the opposition and Western and Arab states as "the enemies of Syria" meeting.

"Syria rejects all that was said and issued at the meeting for the enemies of Syria in Tunis," Syria TV reported in an urgent news break. "Syria deplores all voices calling for financing the armed groups which could lead to support for terrorism and hurt the interests of the Syrian people."
