Syrian Opposition: No Talks that Leave Assad in Power
(Reuters) Yasmine Saleh and Ayman Samir - Syrian National Coalition President Ahmad Jarba said Sunday that the opposition would not attend peace talks unless there was a clear timeframe for President Assad to leave power. He also said they could not accept the presence of Iran at the negotiating table. A senior State Department official said Iran would not be welcome to attend the Syria peace talks unless it endorsed a past agreement that would see Assad give up power.
