Syrian opposition rejects 'national dialogue' - Middle East - Al Jazeera English

Syrian opposition rejects 'national dialogue' - Middle East - Al Jazeera English: "Syria has opened a 'national dialogue' that it hailed as a step towards multi-party democracy after five
decades of Baath party rule.

The government said the discussions would include a new media law but the credibility of Sunday's talks appeared to have been undermined by an opposition boycott.

Al Jazeera's correspondent, Rula Amin, reported from Beirut, 'We have to remember that whoever is there came on an invitation from the government.

'The opposition figures who we spoke to, said that we heard very nice words but what we want to see is actions and deeds. Word wise, this is unprecedented, beyond that, this meeting will not bring any results."
