Opposition Govt leader says No Assad in transitional period

Head of the opposition Interim Government said the International community had asked Syria's main opposition group to not put pre-conditions before Geneva peace conference next November as demanding Bashar al-Assad to leave the power.

 Mr. Ahmad Toumeh stated to the American radio station, SAWA, the Syrian opposition will not accept al-Assad in the transitional period.

This demand was clearly discussed with the International powers during Syria's friends meeting in London, two days ago, Touma said.

The international community asked the national coalition to talk about toppling the Assad at the end of the conference, not in the beginning, Toumeh said.

The National Coalition emphasized on Geneva 1 convention where the International parties agreed on new Syria without Bashar al-Assad.
