The Syrian armed opposition criticized the initiative of UN Special Envoy for Syria Staffan de Mistura to appoint delegates of the Syrian opposition himself, and called on the UN official to apologize for his statement. Staffan de Mistura said on Tuesday that if the Syrian opposition delegation is not formed by February 8th for the talks in Geneva, he would select the delegates himself.
The Syrian opposition wrote on a Twitter page yesterday that nobody has a right to appoint people that will hold negotiations on behalf of Syrians. The Special Envoy must stick to his powers and apologize to the Syrian people for his.
