CAIRO
A Free Syrian Army commander said Thursday its was highly unlikely that their rebel army would participate in a planned Geneva conference in June that would seek a peaceful settlement to the Syria crisis.
Muhammad Allouche, a member of FSA General Staff of the Supreme Joint Military Command Council, however said a final decision would be made later Thursday in a meeting in Istanbul.
"If we were to sit around the table to talk to Assad after so many deaths, it would mean we consider Assad and his regime innocent," Allouche said.
He said their decision over the Geneva conference will be made public after a separate FSA meeting.
