BEIRUT, Nov 28 (Reuters) - Syria plans to drop a constitutional clause which designates President Bashar al-Assad's Baath Party as the leading party, Foreign Minister Walid al-Moualem said on Monday.
Moualem said he was told by the head of a committee tasked with reforming Syria's constitution that the revised version "includes multi-party (politics), and there is no place for discrimination between parties, meaning there is no Article Eight."
