GENEVA — Walid Moallem, Syria’s minister of foreign affairs and expatriates, called for a national unity government including a more expansive Syrian opposition than those represented by the National Syrian Coalition of Revolutionary and Opposition Forces (SOC) at the Geneva talks.

“I don’t see the only opposition as the Coalition. There are other opposition who must join so we can have a national unity government,” he told Al-Monitor during an exclusive interview shortly after the close of the talks.
