Syria faces sanctions from Arab nations in response to its violent crackdown on protests against President Bashar Al-Assad.
The Arab League has repeatedly extended deadlines for Syria to agree to a plan that would see Arab monitors oversee its withdrawal of troops from towns. The latest expired on Dec. 4.
Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Al-Moualem wrote to the League saying Damascus was prepared to sign an ageement that would allow League monitors into Syria, but only if certain conditions were met, MENA quoted the unnamed official as saying.
MENA quoted Arab League Secretary General Nabil Elaraby as saying the foreign ministers would have to agree before responding to Moualem’s letter.
“We have once again called on Syria to sign the monitors agreement,” MENA quoted the official as saying.
