\"BayanouniThe National Salvation Front has officially announced that it is opening its Washington office on May 1, 2007 and that it has hired former US Ambassador to Qatar, Elizabeth McKune, to represent it and lobby congress on its behalf. The NSF was formed over a year ago and is led by Abdul Halim Khaddam, the Vice President of Syria, who left Syria in 2005 and joined forces with the Muslim Brootherhood.<\/div>\n
.<\/div>\n
Dr. Husam Dairi will head up the Washington Office. He is a member of General Secretariat of the NSF. From April 17-19, representatives of the NSF met with members of the National Security Council and members of congress to discuss the deterioration of human rights in Syria, the repression of the regime, and the terrible conditions of political prisoners.<\/div>\n
.<\/div>\n
The Front argued that without democracy in Syria, there could be no real democracy in Lebanon…..<\/div>\n
US lawmakers agreed that they must include demands about the liberalization of internal Syrian conditions with demands on the Syrian government to change its foreign policy before any real dialogue with Syria could be initiated. Here is the announcement of the NSF in Arabic. <\/div>\n
