Saudi Arabia's foreign minister said his country would continue to support Syrian rebels if President Bashar al-Assad was not removed through a political process, reports Reuters.
Speaking to press at the sidelines of the international Syria peace talks in Vienna, Adel al-Jubier said,
"We will support the political process that will result in (Assad) leaving, or we will continue to support Syrian opposition to remove him by force."
Parties at the peace talks on Saturday agreed to accelerate efforts to end the conflict by commencing negotiations between the government and opposition in January and holding elections within 18 months.
