Syrian Opposition Rejects 'Any Role' for Assad
The Syrian opposition to the Damascus regime said Thursday it would reject "any role" now or in the future for current President Bashar Assad, even as the United States now says Assad's departure is no longer a priority to end the conflict.
"The opposition will never accept any role for Bashar Assad at any phase... there will be no change in our position," said Monzer Makhos, a spokesman for the opposition High Negotiations Committee, composed of key Syrian opposition groups attending talks in Geneva.
