Montreux: Syria's foreign minister, directly addressing U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, says no one has the right to remove Bashar Assad except Syrians.
Foreign Minister Walid al-Moallem addressed the Wednesday opening of a peace conference on Syria just after Kerry, who said Assad had lost the legitimacy to lead and would have no place in a transitional government.
Al-Moallem also refused to give up the podium to Ban Ki-moon, telling the U.N. chief: “You live in New York, I live in Syria.”
