ROME: US Secretary of State John Kerry insisted Thursday that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad cannot be part of a transitional government in Syria.
Speaking before talks with Jordanian Foreign Minister Nasser Judeh, Kerry said all sides were working to "effect a transition government by mutual consent of both sides, which clearly means that in our judgement President Assad will not be a component of that transitional government."
