Saudi Foreign Minister says Assad has no place in Syria future

Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir said on August 11 Riyadh's position on the conflict in Syria has not changed and that there was no place for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in the future of the country.

He was speaking after talks with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in Moscow, a long-standing ally of Assad in the conflict, amid a renewed diplomatic push to end the conflict in Syria because of gains on the ground by Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).

Meanwhile, Lavrov said the meeting did not solve their disagreement with Saudi Arabia over al-Assad's future.
