Turkish resentment over FSA representation in current opposition meetings: source


ISTANBUL (Zaman Al Wasl)- Turkey expressed resentment to Syrian Opposition over the representation of Free Syrian Army in the ongoing meetings of National Coalition, saying the presence of two delegations may raise problems on its land, sources said.

Turkish officials told Khaled al-Khoja, Coalition representative in Istanbul, that Ankara is eager to solve the rifts of FSA’s Chiefs of Staff to reach a proper solution, according to sources.

The rifts between the Supreme Military Council and key opposition group have been escalated two months ago when Hadi al-Bahra, NC leader, dismissed the council and appointed a new one under the leadership of Brigadier Abdulillah al-Bashir instead of Salim Idriss.

The members of sacked council said the dismissal decision is out of Bahra’s powers.

In relevant development, Zaman al-Wasl source said officials from Qatar in Turkey agreed on Ahmed Tomeh, head of caretaker government, to lead the new interim government.

Coalition political commission dismissed Tomeh government two months ago over a series of critics. But the regional influence appeared to be main backer of former Imam and dentist.

After almost two years of founding the Coalition in Qatar, in November 2012, the gulf Arab state has been remarked as the big ally to NC as well the decision maker, according to rivals.

Analysts say the conflict of interest among the opposition figures pushed the regional powers to intervene to solve disputes.

NC meetings came along with another Coalition led by U.S. against jihadist in Syria, especially in red-hot front of Kobani.

The U.N. says more than 190,000 people have been killed since the start of Syria's uprising against President Bashar Assad in March 2011.
