Beirut, Dhu-AlHijjah 19, 1436, Oct 3, 2015, SPA -- The Syrian National Coalition dismissed giving any role for President Bashar al-Assad in the transitional government, reiterating its declared position of excluding him from any political process. In a statement announced here today, the Coalition said that "the political process must ensure the non-reproduction of the current regime, in a new form, or to give the head of the regime or his staff, who have their hands stained with the blood of the Syrians, any role, neither during the transitional political process nor in the long run." -- SPA 00:43 LOCAL TIME 21:43 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/1404628
