Arab League: Syria Seat Not Given to Opposition

Arab League Secretary General said from Dubai that the vacant Syrian seat at the AL has not been given to the opposition

Arab League Secretary General said from Dubai that the vacant Syrian seat at the AL has not been given to the opposition, even though its chief made an address in laNabil al-Arabist summit.
  
“The opinion was that if they (opposition) form a government, which they have not done yet, then they can become a representative,” Nabil al-Arabi told reporters on Tuesday.  

He said the opposition chief had been invited to address the March summit in Doha by the meeting's Qatari host, not by the bloc. “Yes, they were invited to address the summit, but until now, the opposition is not invited to meetings, because it has not formed a government,” Arabi said.

The Syrian opposition chief Ahmed Moaz al-Khatib gave a fiery speech in which he demanded Syria's seat at the United Nations.
