The proposed principles of forming the interrim parliament won't do. Unless they manage to change something about it to obtain independent delegates (anything other than appointment by the caretaker president), nothing good will come of it. :(

It sucks that relatively moderate politician turns out to be an autocrat again. How to build trust in this environment?

If you are referring to the interim president, than the opposite is true. He was only pretending to be a moderate.

Well, relatively. There was reason for cautious optimism and it’s still likely an upgrade for people in Syria even though not as much as one could hope.
