Members of the opposition Syrian National Council have agreed that figures from President Bashar al-Assad’s government whose hands have not been “smeared with blood” may be invited to take part in a transitional administration.
Motee al-Bateen, a member of the group’s executive committee, said there hasn’t been agreement yet over whether such figures could be part of a future government’s leadership. The SNC is meeting in Istanbul today to discuss the issue, al-Bateen said in a telephone interview from the Turkish city.
