But the group said the agreement was “too vague”.

The final declaration of the meeting on Syria "seems to suggest a few positive elements," Basma Qadmani, spokeswoman for the opposition SNC, told AFP.

"Important elements remain too ambiguous... and the plan is too vague to foresee real and immediate action."
At a meeting on Saturday, world powers agreed a plan for a transition in Syria that could include current regime members.
"There are two positive elements" that emerged from Geneva, Qadmani said in a telephone interview.

"The first one is that the final declaration says that the participants agree to say that the Assad family cannot rule the country any more, and therefore the Assad family cannot lead the transition period."
"The second positive element is the agreement that the transition should comply with the legitimate aspirations of Syrian people.”

"For us this means that Assad should go because Syrian people have already said that they want Assad to go," added Qadmani.
