ISTANBUL, April 1 (Reuters) – Western and Arab nations
called on U.N.-Arab League special envoy Kofi Annan on Sunday to
determine a timeline for next steps to persuade President Bashar
al-Assad to end the conflict in Syria, including a return to the
U.N. Security Council, if the killing continues.
The “Friends of Syria” also said, in a final communique
obtained by Reuters, that the window of opportunity for Assad to
meet his commitments was not open-ended.
The group also recognised the Syrian National Council as a
legitimate representative of all Syrians, and the main
opposition interlocutor with the international community.
