Syria Opposition Says Talks Must Focus on Assad Departure
The opposition Syrian National Coalition said on Thursday that any talks on the country's political future must be about the departure of the regime of President Bashar Assad.
A day after SNC chief Moaz al-Khatib expressed openness to discussion with members of the regime, the political commission issued a statement reaffirming the group's charter that "any negotiation or dialogue must be about the departure of the regime and its pillars."
It added that it welcomed "any political solution or international effort aimed at achieving that objective."
