Syrian Opposition Continues Call for Assad’s Ouster 
------------------------------------------------------


 
Syrian opposition groups continue to oppose any talks with President
Bashar al-Assad that would preserve his regime. Speaking from
neighboring Turkey, a spokesperson for the Syrian National Council said
negotiations should only focus on Assad's departure.

Mahmoud Osman: "This brutal regime, which kills day and night, this
regime is over, and the Assad family will be erased from Syria's
history. They should find a safe refuge for themselves. We, the National
Council, will only negotiate with the regime on one thing, which is how
Assad will leave Syria, and that's it."
