The Syrian National Council ((アラビア語: المجلس الوطني السوري), ''al-Majlis al-Waṭanī as-Sūri'', (フランス語:Conseil national syrien)) sometimes known as SNC, the Syrian National Transitional Council or the National Council of Syria, is a Syrian opposition coalition, based in Istanbul (Turkey), formed in August 2011 during the Syrian civil uprising (escalating into civil war) against the government of Bashar al-Assad. Initially, the council denied seeking to play the role of a government in exile, but this changed a few months later when violence in Syria intensified. The Syrian National Council seeks the end of Bashar al-Assad's rule and the establishment of a modern, civil, democratic state. The SNC National Charter lists human rights, judicial independence, press freedom, democracy and political pluralism as its guiding principles. In November 2012, the Council agreed to unify with several other opposition groups to form the National Coalition for Syrian Revolutionary and Opposition Forces with the SNC having 22 out of 60 seats. The Council withdrew from the Coalition on 20 January 2014 in protest at the decision of the coalition to attend the Geneva talks. However the Council still sends representatives to the Coalition. ==History== When the Arab Spring broke out, Syrian protesters began consolidating numerous opposition councils. The SNC's formation was announced in the city of Istanbul, Turkey on 23 August 2011, after a succession of meetings in Turkey and elsewhere. Its intended purpose is to "represent the concerns and demands of the Syrian people."〔〔 The creation of the SNC was celebrated by the Syrian protestors since the Friday protest following its establishment was dubbed "The Syrian National Council Represents Me".〔Sarra Grira (13/01/2012) (“Cracks emerge in Syrian opposition amid ongoing anti-government protests” ), France 24.〕〔Amal Hanano (April 18, 2012) (“Any given Friday” ), ''Foreign Policy''.〕 Yaser Tabbara, the council's spokesman at that time, said the membership of the council would include 115 to 120 members from all Syrian opposition groups, including the now defunct National Council of Syria. It has so far unveiled the names of 71 members, mostly living outside Syria. On 2 October 2011, the council formally declared its organizational affiliations and structure, to include a General Assembly, a General Secretariat and an Executive Board.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Executive Committee )〕 On 20 January 2014, the Council announced that it was leaving the Syrian National Coalition because participating in the talks would go backwards on its stance "to not enter negotiations" until president al-Assad left office. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Syrian National Council」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
