Syria expressed on Monday its firm rejection of the League having any role or representation in the international plan sponsored by UN envoy Kofi Annan.

Syria's Permanent Representative to the Arab League Yousef Ahmad was responding to the decisions made by the meeting of the Arab League Ministerial Council in Doha on Saturday.
Ahmad said that the League is no longer a part of the international effort represented by the plan of UN Envoy Kofi Annan, State news agency, SANA, said.

Ahmad said that the Arab League was seeking to summon military intervention in the Syrian crisis and hindering any solution to it.
Ahmad added that the League’s mechanisms and decisions were seized by sides from the Arab Gulf who continue to violate its charter and principles to benefit western and regional sides.

He said that everything issued by the League since the decision to suspend Syria's participation did not concern Syria, stressing the need for a true Arab effort to correct the course of the League and restore its intended role.

"Targeting the Syrian media under the umbrella of the AL decisions proves that the Arab and international parties which practice their political and media instigation against Syria, do not believe in the freedom of opinion and accepting the other as they seek to conceal the reality of what Syria is witnessing of systematic terrorism and foreign incitement to prevent a national solution for the crisis in the country," SANA quoted Ahmad as saying.
