The Syrian Foreign Ministry on Thursday called the UN-Arab League envoy, Lakhdar Brahimi, "flagrantly biased" and accused him of being one of those "conspiring against Syria and its people."

The remarks were made in response to comments made by Brahimi earlier in the day when he asserted that President Assad could not have a role in a transitional government:

"In Syria...what people are saying is that a family ruling for 40 years is a little bit too long,"

"President Assad could take the lead in responding to the aspiration of his people rather than resisting it."
