Syrian government rejects transitional government idea
None
"We have complete reservations regarding it," Syiran Information Minister Omran Zoabi said, comparing the proposal to the transitional government set up in Iraq by US occupation forces after they toppled Saddam Hussein in 2003.
"Syria is a state with institutions," he added. "A transitional governing body ... happens where the state is in disintegration, or has no institutions." (AP)
