The General Assembly decided to form a new FSA Supreme Military Command (SMC) in accordance with Article 31 of the Syrian Coalition’s bylaws in the last day of its 22nd meeting held in Istanbul. The new SMC is expected to ensure the representation of the rebel factions currently active on the ground. A decision was made to form a committee to work on the formation of the new leadership depending on standards that have already been agreed upon. Moreover, the General Assembly decided to freeze the FSA Supreme Military Council and to maintain its representatives within the General Assembly until the formation of the new leadership.
A maximum period of one month was set for the committee to form the new FSA leadership, which will include representatives of all the Syrian Coalition blocks who are to be nominated within one week of the decision.
The General Assembly also decided to dismiss Walid al-Omari from the Syrian Coalition by 95 votes out of 107 for violating the basic rules of the General Assembly meetings.
The General Assembly also decided to postpone the next session of its meetings to July 30, 2015, and agreed that the presidential and political bodies continue to function with full powers.
