Syria has presented the Arab League with a "strong formal protest memorandum over the latest meeting of its Secretary General Nabil al-Arabi with figures claiming to represent the Syrian opposition."

Syria's Permanent Representative to the Arab League (AL) Yousef Ahmad expressed "deep concern over this step as a serious precedent in terms of the joint Arab action.
 
"I express strong dissatisfaction over leaking information about your meeting with President Bashar al-Assad on September 10th, 2011 in such sensitive time which damaged the confidence that was supposed to exist between the Syrian government and the AL Secretariat General," Ahmad said.

The letter stated that "meeting opposition figures effectively contradicted efforts to end the crisis," adding that the "efforts for exaggerated media coverage of the events led us to conduct a formal inquiry into whether this means announcing submission to certain pressures and giving up your mission."

The Syrian envoy went on to say: "What provoked our extreme concern is your statements about sending committees to Syria which fully contradict your decision to abandon your report on your visit to Syria and your meeting with President al-Assad which provided for forming a high-level AL Secretariat General delegation to visit the Syrian governorates and know more about the reality of what is taking place with official guarantees for free transportation and providing protection for the delegation members."
