Arab Foreign Ministers to hold urgent meeting on Syria

2^min

The Arab League announced on Thursday that the Arab Ministers of Foreign Affairs will hold an urgent meeting next Monday to discuss the latest developments in Syria and ways to deal with the crisis in the war-torn country.

“Arab Foreign Affairs Ministers will urgently meet in Saudi Arabia’s Riyadh where they will discuss the latest field, political and humanitarian developments of the Syrian crisis,” the Arab League Deputy Secretary-General Ahmad bin Hilli told journalists.

He also noted that the Syrian crisis is deteriorating, stressing the importance of holding discussions over the matter.

More than 150,000 people have been killed in Syria since the start of an armed uprising in 2011 against President Bashar Assad.

Last month, UN-Arab League mediator Lakhdar Brahimi said that a resumption of peace talks in Geneva between the Syrian regime and the opposition was "out of the question" for the moment.

In a briefing to the UN Security Council, Brahimi accused Damascus of delaying efforts to resume the negotiations.

The Arab League is an organization that consists of independent Arab States on the territory of northern and north-eastern part of Africa and southwest Asia.

Representatives of the first six member states – Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria and Saudi Arabia – that initiated the league’s formation signed the agreement in Cairo, on March 22, 1945.

Since then, 16 more states joined the organization, but due to recent uprising in Syria, the league suspended this member state and now counts 21 members.
