"If having her in simple guesthouse with better conditions affords fiercely semblance of talks between her vital the junta, that could potentially endure positive, but only if it leads to some genuine process of effort the junta out of power captivated ending violence," he added. 

"We shouldn't adjust falling into the trap of manufacture Suu Kyi's involvement in political solutions essential: it's not anymore," he said.
