ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — Turkey's state-run news agency says a Syrian opposition group that is trying to form a united front against Syrian President Bashar Assad is seeking permission to open a representation in Turkey. The Anatolia agency said Monday that members of the Syrian National Council relayed their request to Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu on Sunday as relations with Syria strained over a spate of attacks on Turkish diplomatic missions in Damascus and other cities. Saturday's attacks followed an Arab League decision to suspend Syria's membership in response to its crackdown on the eight-month uprising. Turkey is not a member of the league, but welcomed the decision. Turkey has evacuated some families of diplomats and issued a warning against traveling to Syria.
