The chairman of Libya's National Transitional Council has called on Syria's president to step down, saying the Syrian people have the right to determine their own destiny.
 
Mustafa Abdul-Jalil said Friday that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad should quit.
 
He said Assad can always put himself up for election in a democratic vote to see if his people really want him.
 
He says "if the Syrian people are willing to choose Assad, then let it be.''
 
Abdul-Jalil spoke at a development conference in Warsaw, Poland.
