Syria’s political and armed opposition agreed to meet with the Assad regime for talks seeking a political solution to the conflict next month announced the chair of the opposition groups conference in Saudi Arabia.
Over 100 members of Syria’s opposition parties and rebel fighting groups agreed, at the end of two days of discussion in Riyadh, to attend talks with President Assad’s government, reports Reuters.
A statement at the end of the conference said that Assad should leave power at the start of a transitional period, and called for an all-inclusive, democratic civic state.
The opposition was willing to enter talks with Syrian government representatives and to accept a Un supervised ceasefire, the statement added.
