(Zaman Al Wasl)- Zaman al-Wasl source disclosed that National Coalition’s Envoy to Qatar had accompanied Moaz Alkhatib, the former head of key opposition group, in his visit to Russia where they had met Russian Foreign Minister and other Russian officials.
Nizar al-Heraki, Coalition Ambassador to Qatar, has participated in the visit as a political activist without even informing the NC president Hadi al-Bahra, well-informed source told Zaman al-Wasl.
The participation of al-Heraki and other two opposition figures, who work in the interim government, has sparked outrage within the Coalition where these acts reflect a state of discord and dispersion, the source said.
Alkhatib wrote in a tweet on his official
Twitter account. "At the invitation of Russia, Syrian opposition figures
and I visited and talked about a political solution and its mechanisms."
"We mentioned to the Russians that our country cannot heal while the head of the regime, who is the No.1 responsible for bloodshed and devastation, remains. We cannot accept his role in the future of Syria," he wrote in a second tweet, according to Reuters.
Although he no longer leads the main opposition in exile, Alkhatib is a respected figure seen by diplomats as someone who could play a part in a future political solution for Syria, where the conflict is in its fourth year.
