Al-Awsat-Farooq Tayfur, deputy controller general of the Syrian Muslim Brotherhood, has stated that his group refused an initiative proposed by Iranian envoys acting on behalf of the Supreme Leader of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The delegates attempted to meet and communicate with Tayfur two months ago, through a Turkish mediator, to discuss the relationship between the two sides as well as the Syrian issue. They proposed to offer four ministerial positions or more to the Syrian Muslim Brotherhood, with the Brotherhood s adherence to the sole condition that Bashar al-Assad remains in power.

Arab ministers are supposed to meet next Thursday in order to discuss the situation in Syria, and the al-Assad regime s refusal to adopt the Arab League s resolutions. This meeting comes amidst the false propaganda spread by the al-Assad regime itself, about foreign intervention in Syria and the threat of a civil war.

The "Academy of Change" posted a message on the "Syrian Revolution against Bashar al-Assad" Facebook page - with a link to its website - which included information on more than 60 ways ordinary people can contribute to the Syrian revolution.

In spite of the differences that plague it, the Syrian opposition has carried out an important step with the formation of a "National Salvation Council" to pose a new challenge to the regime of President Bashar al-Assad, which has intensified its military campaign to crush the uprising against its rule. Twenty five council members are due to meet to select an executive board of 11 individuals, who will monitor the events and latest developments.
