Syrian opposition delegation meets Arab League Secretary-General
QAMISHLI, Syria (North Press) – On Wednesday, the Secretary-General of the Arab League met a delegation of the Syrian opposition on the sidelines of the 76th session of the United Nations General Assembly.
Media outlets quoted a source in the League’s General Secretariat as saying that the meeting dealt with the latest developments regarding the Syrian crisis and regional and international efforts to resolve it within the framework of implementing international resolutions on it.
They discussed field conditions and ways to alleviate the suffering of the Syrian people, who are currently exposed to “the worst humanitarian situation in their modern history.”
Arab League Secretary General Ahmed Aboul Gheit heard from the delegation members an explanation of the dangers of demographic changes taking place in the Syrian society, and the Secretary-General expressed his concern over their potential effects on stability in the country.
Aboul Gheit stressed the importance of revitalizing the negotiating process based on UN Security Council Resolution 2254 after its stagnation, with the need to engage in the political process seriously on both sides.
The meeting reviewed the various stages of the work of the Constitutional Committee, which has not led to anything so far.
In November 2011, the Arab League decided to freeze Syria’s seat due to a dispute with the Syrian government over the ongoing war in Syria.
