DAMASCUS: Syria on Monday rejected an Arab League (AL) plan for
President Bashar al-Assad to transfer power to his deputy, calling the
initiative a 'flagrant interference,' state TV quoted an official as
saying.'Syria rejects the decisions taken which are outside an Arab
working plan, and considers them an attack on its national sovereignty
and a flagrant interference in internal affairs,' the official was
quoted as saying.Earlier on Sunday, the Arab League asked the UN to
support a new plan for resolving the crisis in Syria that sees President
Bashar al-Assad transferring power to his deputy and a government of
national unity within two months.Assad should 'delegate powers to the
vice president to liaise with a government of national unity,' to be
formed in two months, according to a statement read by Qatari premier
Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim Al-Thani after Arab foreign ministers met in
Cairo to determine the fate of their observer mission. (AFP)
