(Zaman Al Wasl)- Senior official in the Syrian National Coalition said the key opposition group would witness substantial reforms in the upcoming General Assembly conference next February that will be surprising for many parties.
The reforms will widen the robe of the old-fashioned body by adding Druze and Christians figures over demands by regional powers, according to the official who spoke on condition of anonymity.
Coalition's role has been declined for almost a year since the Saudi-backed High Negotiations Committee (HNC) has been formed in Riyadh.
Russia deliberately dropped out HNC from the planned peace talks in Astana due to its ultimate support for rebels, trying to revive the Coalition instead, analysts say.
A new reason returns to the Turkish support for the Istanbul-based Coalition.
The HNC said on Saturday it supported efforts towards talks in Kazakhstan, and viewed the meeting as a preliminary step for resuming the next round of political negotiations in Geneva.
The Syrian regime and rebel groups began a nationwide ceasefire on Dec. 30 brokered by Moscow and Ankara.
The agreement aims to pave the way for new peace talks, which Russia hopes to convene in the Kazakh capital Astana later this month with Turkish and Iranian support.
The 4-year-old body that formed in Doha in 2012 has showed pragmatism over Bashar al-Assad's future and Syria's priorities.
A well-informed source told Zaman al-Wasl that Collation had delivered a political road-map last November to Donald Trump's Mideast adviser, stressing that protecting civilians and fighting the Islamic State will end up in a new Syria without al-Assad, sources told Zaman al-Wasl.
The source clarified that the meeting between the key opposition members with the U.S. President-elect adviser Walid Phares and ten more meetings with members of congress, and the office manager of Senator John McCain, have stressed on the political support, putting Assad's ousting demand on the drawers.
