RABAT, December 11. /TASS/. A constitutional committee, tasked with amending the country’s main law, will be created in Syria, a spokesperson for the Syrian opposition’s political department told Qatar-based Al Jazeera television.

"A constitutional committee will be formed to review the previous constitution and amend it," he said.

"The new Syria will be based on justice and law, and there will be no place in it for notorious prisons," he said. "We will turn the page of the former regime."

On November 27, members of armed opposition groups launched a large-scale offensive against government forces' positions in Aleppo and Idlib Governorates. By the evening of December 7, opponents of Syrian President Bashar Assad had captured several major cities: Aleppo, Hama, Deir ez-Zor, Deraa, and Homs. They entered Damascus on December 8, after which Syrian army units withdrew from the city. The head of the Syrian government, Mohammad Ghazi al-Jalali, expressed his readiness for a peaceful transfer of power in the country. Assad left office and fled the country.
