Syrian opposition takes Syria seat at Arab League Summit

The leader of the Syrian opposition's National Coalition, Ahmed Moaz al-Khatib, formally assumed the Syrian seat at the Arab League Summit on Tuesday, hailing it as "part of the restoration of legitimacy" that the Syiran people had "long been robbed of".

Incidentally, Khatib formally resigned as leader two days ago, however his resignation has been rejected by the National Coalition.

The Assad regime responded by accusing the League of allowing "bandits and thugs" assume the seat.

 

The regime was suspended from the League in November 2011.
