G7 Leaders To Back Syria-Led Transition Process After Assad Fall

Group of Seven leaders are willing to support a new Syrian government if the transition process respects the rule of law as well as religious and ethnic minorities in the country.

The G-7 “is hopeful that all the opposition groups seeking a role in governing Syria will demonstrate their commitment to the rights of all Syrians,” according to a draft statement the G-7 plans to issue later this week.
