Tunisia conference to host Syrian opposition

PanARMENIAN.Net - The opposition Syrian National Council (SNC) will attend the Friends of Syria conference due February 24 in Tunisia, a member of the group said on Monday, February 20.

“We were invited and we will attend,” Naji Tayyara, head of foreign relations at the SNC said from Dubai.

“At first there was an objection on our attendance by Russia and China, but Arab members insists on our presence,” Tayyara said.

Reports last week had quoted Tunisian Foreign Minister Rafik Abdessalam as saying that the Syrian opposition would not be invited to the conference, M&C reported, citing DPA.
