The opposition Syrian National Salvation Front concluded its founding conference in London today, approving a plan aimed at democratic change in the country.

The Front comprises the banned Muslim Brotherhood, Abdel Halim Khaddam (former Syrian Vice President), and opposition figures from Kurdish parties, independents, and communists.

Khaddam, in response to questions on the sidelines of the conference, expressed his reliance on the people’s peaceful civil rebellion to overthrow the regime. He emphasized that the Salvation Front would work towards alleviating the tensions experienced by the people. Khaddam also underscored that the opposition would refrain from resorting to violence and would not support a military coup to bring down the regime. He mentioned ongoing contacts with all opposition forces in Syria to unify efforts and ensure the success of the change process with the participation of all.

Furthermore, Khaddam called upon the international community to assist the Syrian people in freeing themselves from “the corrupt authoritarian regime that has lost national and international legitimacy.” During the conference’s opening, Khaddam, who defected from the regime several months ago and currently resides in Paris, stressed the necessity of change and a democratic constitutional system for Syria’s progress along the path of independence.

Ali Sadreddin Al-Bayanouni, the Comptroller General of the Brotherhood in Syria, stated that the primary objective of this founding conference of the National Salvation Front is to develop a national program aimed at changing the regime of Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad.
