Doha: The Syrian
embassy here was handed over to the Syrian opposition Wednesday, a
day after Arab leaders granted the Damascus seat in the Arab
League also to the opposition.
At a ceremony attended by Qatari officials, Syrian opposition
figures and Western diplomats, the Syrian opposition's flag was
hoisted at the embassy for the first time, reports Xinhua.
On Tuesday, Arab leaders issued a declaration at a summit,
granting Damascus' seat at the Arab League to the Syrian
opposition and acknowledging member countries' right to provide
all means of self-defense to the Syrian opposition.
Qatar was the driving force behind the formation of the Syrian
National Coalition (SNC) and was among the first countries to
recognize it as the "legitimate" representatives of the Syrian
people.
Last month, the exiled SNC said Qatar would hand over the Syrian
embassy in its capital Doha to the Syrian opposition.
A new ambassador and two other staffers would be accorded full
diplomatic status, the SNC said, while the Qatari leadership kept
silent about the news.
The Syrian government has repeatedly accused Qatar, Saudi Arabia
and Turkey of being the driving force behind Syrian rebels.
The Qatari embassy in Damascus was closed last year, alongside
several other embassies that belong to anti-Syrian administration
countries.
