Arab League (AL) foreign ministers meeting here Sunday called on Syrian opposition to attend the Geneva II conference and form their delegation as soon as possible.
The ministers said the AL supports Syrian opposition's stance of asking for necessary international guarantees for participating in the Geneva II conference.
  
Syrian National Coalition President Ahmed Al-Jarba said that the opposition decided not to enter Geneva talks unless there is a successful transfer of power within a specific time frame.
  
Al-Jarba also urged the AL to take a clear decision on supplying the Syrians with weapons, and guaranteed that those weapons would not fall into the wrong hands.
  
AL chief Nabil Al-Arabi said at the foreign ministers' meeting that bloodshed in Syria could no longer be tolerated.
  
He called on Arab states to support the National Coalition of Syrian opposition to take part in the coming negotiations in Geneva scheduled for later November.
