Syria’s transitional council mirrors Libyan NTC
A new transitional council is now forming in Syria to oppose President Bashar al-Assad.
The council appears to be much like the one in Libya. Prof. Boris Shmelyov, Chief of the Department of Political Studies in the Russian Academy of Sciences, says the Syrian National Council comprises groups of the fractured Syrian opposition.
He believes the Syrian National Council is like Libya’s NTC in that it is struggling to achieve the same goals.
