Syrian National Coalition (SNC) suspends participation in Geneva II

Syria’s main opposition group in exile Syrian National Coalition (SNC) said on Monday that it suspends its participation in Geneva II conference due to UN’s invitation to Iran.

The SNC spokesman Louay Safi said in the announcement that it suspends the participation unless UN rescinds its invitation to Iran or Iran accepts the Geneva I communique.

The Istanbul-based coalition, which decided on its participation on Saturday night, threatened to pull out the peace conference shortly after Iran was invited to participate in the meeting.
