For his part, Abbas stressed that the SLF and the Syrian National Army (SNA) are working under the umbrella of the Syrian Interim Government and SOC. He stressed the need to work within standardized regulations so as to benefit from all the efforts being made to achieve the aspirations of the Syrian people for freedom, dignity and democracy.
