ANKARA, Turkey
(AP) -- Prominent Syrian opposition figures are presenting a plan for a
political transition should President Bashar Assad's government fall.
The
report by about 300 activists, including military leaders and members
of the main opposition group, calls for disarmament of militias and
remaking security services. Under the plan, a new national assembly
would draft a constitution based on an earlier one written in 1950. The
final document would then go to a referendum.
The
activists envision a government with both a president and a parliament
to offer checks and balances, and recommend creating an independent
judiciary.
The roadmap to be released
Wednesday in Istanbul comes as the Assad government has consolidated
control over central Syria and around the capital, Damascus.
