activists have angrily rejected calls by Kofi Annan, the UN and Arab
League envoy to Syria, for dialogue with the government.
The leader of the main opposition, Burhan Ghalioun, said the
comments were "disappointing" when Syrians were being "massacred every
day".Mr Annan, who is due in Syria on Saturday, had said a solution lies in a "political settlement".
He also said further militarisation "would make things worse".
Tens of thousands of people were again reported to be on the streets across Syria on Friday, protesting against the regime of President Bashar al-Assad.
Meanwhile, activists say Syrian troops are massing in northern Idlib province and fear another major assault, as happened in the city of Homs.
The Local Coordination Committees group said another 35 people were killed across Syria on Friday, including 13 in Homs, nine in Idlib, three in Hama, two in Damascus and one each in Lattakia and Aleppo.
