Syria slams Western powers' interference in Syrian affairs

Syria's Foreign Ministry has said talks about the political and constitutional legitimacy in country is an exclusive right of the Syrian people.

In a statement, the ministry said that the United States and its allies can't force their will on the Syrian people.

During talks in Paris, French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and British Foreign Secretary William Hague also announced the organization of a 'major international gathering next week in New York to seek further support to the Syrian National Coalition, the main Syrian opposition coalition abroad.

Meanwhile, the Syrian Foreign Ministry stressed that President Bashar al-Assad is the legitimate president that the Syrian people have chosen and will remain so as long as the people of Syria want.
