[quote]Syria's main political opposition group, the Syrian National Coalition (SNC), has agreed to attend next week's so-called Geneva II peace talks, to be held in the Swiss city.

Its representatives took the decision at a meeting in the Turkish city, Istanbul.

The aim of the talks is to start the process of setting up a transitional government to end the war in Syria.[/quote]
[quote]Of the delegates who voted, 58 were in favour, 14 were against, while one abstained. Two did not vote.

Syrian opposition figures had earlier expressed reluctance to go to Switzerland unless Syrian President Bashar al-Assad was excluded from any future transitional government.

Syria says there cannot be any pre-conditions.[/quote]

note this is after 44 members walked out and haven't came back in 2 days and this is remaining ~2/3 of them voting...

The SNC basically fell apart. They went from little power to even less power.
