Activists discuss ways to oust Assad
Syrian opposition figures said President Bashar Assad’s autocratic regime has lost its legitimacy and urged him to step down at simultaneous meetings today in Damascus and Turkey to discuss ways for a peaceful transition to democracy.
Some 400 people are taking part in the National Salvation Conference in Istanbul where participants were expected to come up with a working paper and elect a unified opposition front composed of Syria-based opposition figures and those in exile.
