Syrian opposition to elect leaders

A new attempt.


Syria dissidents eye unity in Istanbul

Members of Syrian opposition to President Bashar al-Assad are expected to meet in Istanbul on Sunday for a meeting intended to elect a national council, according to an opposition member who will take part in the meeting.

“The [national] council is an attempt to represent the opposition and [show] the aims of the Syrian revolution to the international community,” Local Coordination Committees of Syria spokesperson Mohammad al-Abdullah said Friday. More than 40 Syrian “revolution blocs” have forged a coalition to unite their efforts against Assad’s regime, according to a statement received by media outlets on Friday.

Turkey is reluctant to follow the United States and European powers in calling for Assad to step down. Ankara has been consistent in its position that the Syrian people must make the call first, but the situation is made difficult by the lack of a cohesive opposition party.

Maybe "they" will make that call now on Sunday.

Yes and the lack of cohesive opposition is being remedied at the moment?

Is this 'lack of cohesiveness' that Turkey employs on the Kurds the same as the one employed on the Sunni non-aligned tribes by the Shia aligned tribes of Assad?

Hmmm?
