Syria's opposition council has said that it is willing to negotiate a peace deal with the USA and Russia, on the condition that President Bashar al-Assad is not party to any settlement.

In a draft document, the opposition said:

"Bashar al-Assad and the military and security apparatus commands are responsible for the decisions that have led the country to what it is now, are outside the political process and are not part of any political solution in Syria,"

"They have to be held accountable for the crimes they have committed."
