Syria’s opposition coalition will meet in Istanbul on May 23 to discuss whether to participate in a US and Russian-brokered conference aimed at ending the Syrian conflict, Turkish Today’s Zaman reported Monday.
The coalition has so far failed to reach an agreement on participation in the peace conference, which Washington and Moscow want to hold by the end of this month.
An insider of the group has told reporters that unless the conference will work on the departure of President Bashar al-Assad, the opposition will not attend it as it will cost the coalition’s credibility with the Syrian people.
Meanwhile, the report said the coalition’s 60-member general assembly will also elect a new head and discuss the fate of its provisional prime minister Ghassan Hitto at the meeting.
