This is a very reasonable and surprising move in Austria. The demand does not imply whether the Syrian government will be considered legitimate in the future, but claims to deal with "crimes" later.
However, if this spark of reason will turn into a fire will, they will have to deal with terrorist crimes in the first place.
In the first place, the country wants to include Syria, Iran and Russia into the war on ISIS.
"The West should involve Syria's President Bashar al-Assad and his allies Iran and Russia in order to combat Islamic State, Austria's foreign minister said on Tuesday, in some of the most conciliatory comments towards Assad by a Western official.
Most Western countries insist Syria's president must leave power if peace is to be restored, while Iran and Russia say he is part of the solution. That disagreement has derailed efforts to end the four-year civil war."
