Doha: The Gulf state of Qatar has reportedly decided to hand over the Syrian embassy in its capital, Doha, to the Syrian National Coalition (SNC), one of the main opposition alliance in Syria.
The announcement was made by SNC, which has already appointed an ambassador and staff members. The SNC has appointed ambassadors to other states which have recognised it, including the UK and France, but Qatar is the first to hand over an embassy.
Qatar was among the first states to recognise the SNC as the official representative of the Syrian people.
According to the SNC, the opposition flag would fly over the embassy in Doha, and the new ambassador and two of his staff will be accorded full diplomatic status.
