(Zaman Al Wasl)- The key Syrian opposition group, the National Coalition, has submitted Saudi Arabia the final list of its representatives supposed to attend Riyadh conference in mid December.
The Saudi-sponsored conference meant to unify as many Syrian political and armed opposition factions as possible around a common agenda is convening in Abha within ten days, ahead of forthcoming negotiations with the Syrian regime, slated for January 1, 2016, according to al-Araby al-Jadeed.
Earlier reports had suggested Riyadh would push for the opposition Syrian National Coalition, the most prominent political opposition body, to lead the Syrian opposition's negotiation delegation, al-Araby added.
SNC's list includes 22 members headed by its president Khaled Khoja.
Since it began in 2011, Syria's conflict has fractured into a complex array of fronts between Kurds, rebels, regime and jihadists, and has killed more than 250,000 people
