CAIRO, Nov 2 (KUNA) -- Secretary-General of the Arab League Nabil Al-Araby
met here on Saturday a visiting Syrian opposition delegation led by Ahmad
Al-Jarba on a solution to the Syrian crisis and a planned international
conference on Syria.
Speaking to reporters following the meeting, former chairman of the Syrian
National Council (SNC) Burhan Ghalioun said they had focused on Syrian
opposition groups' position on the Geneva II Conference on Syria.
He urged the Arab League to commit itself to just one goal; a transitional
system, to seek an executive body with full power and to provide more support
to the Syrian people.
However, Ghalioun denied reports that Syrian opposition groups put
preconditions for involvement in the planned world conference on the Syrian
crisis.
He reaffirmed that Syrian opposition would be the "key beneficiary from the
conference should it lead to a cessation of violence and a democratic system
in the country".
On Iran's possible participation in the international gathering, the Syrian
opposition leading figure said: "Any country involved in fighting the Syrian
people cannot be a partner to any peace process."
He noted Al-Jarba will address an emergency meeting of Arab foreign
ministers on Syria due in Cairo on Sunday. (end)
