Head of Syrian opposition Syria National Coalition (SNC) Ahmad Al-Jarba on Tuesday urged international community to provide more heavy weapons and humanitarian support to the rebels when he delivered speech at the Arab League (AL) summit held in Kuwait.

"The international community should commit to its pledges to provide heavy weapons to our revolutionary, and increase humanitarian support in all its components to Syrians," he said, adding that "I do not ask for a declaration of war. I do ask for your support to our cause and finding a solution guaranteeing the interests of our people and our country."

Although Syria's seat was vacant due to suspension of its membership in 2011, Ahmad Al-Jarba was invited to address the summit.

"Keeping Syria's seat vacant sends a clear message to Assad that the seat will wait for him to resolve the war," Al-Jarba said, expressing dissatisfaction.

At 2013 AL summit held in Qatari capital of Doha, Syria's seat was occupied by the opposition, which made some Arab states express reservations then.

Besides weapons and humanitarian support, the opposition also urged the Arab League to acknowledge more legitimacy to the rebels. "The Syrian embassies in Arab states should be given to SNC after Assad's administration lost its legitimacy," he said.

The two-day 2014 Arab League summit opened on Tuesday in Kuwait 's capital of Kuwait City with participation of 13 heads of Arab states.
