Syria to reject outcome of \'Friends of Syria\' meeting

Syrian Ambassador to Jordan Bahjat Suleiman said Wednesday that his country will reject the outcome of the \"Friends of Syria\" meeting slated to open soon in Amman. Speaking at a press conference, Suleiman said \"we cannot accept any of the results of the so-called Friends of Syria meeting.\" The diplomat slammed the countries that will partake in the meeting as \"Friends of Israel.\" Foreign ministers of Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Egypt, the United States, Britain, France, Turkey, Germany and Italy are set to attend the meeting. \"Nobody delegates those countries to decide on behalf of the Syrian people,\" Suleiman said. The meeting is expected to discuss the recent U.S.-Russian efforts to revive political options for solving the Syrian crisis, with the focus on coordinating efforts in light of the latest developments in Syria. As a neighbor of war-torn Syria, Jordan accommodates more than 530,000 Syrian refugees currently.
