Assad must leave at start of eventual transition: Syria opposition groups says

Syrian opposition groups meeting in Riyadh have
agreed that President Bashar al-Assad must step
down with the start of a transition period set out
last month by top diplomats.
“Participants have insisted that Bashar
al-Assad and his aides quit power with
the start of the transition period,” said a
statement issued following two days of
unprecedented talks between a range of
armed and political opposition groups.
