Quote:Qorvis MSL handles media and Congressional outreach for the Syrian Opposition Coalition in a bid bankrolled by Saudi Arabia.
The Washington firm has been the Kingdom's go-to PR firm since the days following the Sept. 11 terror attacks when Qorvis replaced Burson-Marsteller on the business to position the Saudis as a staunch ally in the war on terror.
The Coalition is trying to topple Syria president Bashar al-Assad, defeat Al Qaeda-backed rival factions and wipe out the ISIS terror organization.
Qorvis has coordinated media activities for Saudi Arabia officials, Coalition staffers and members of Egypt's interim government, according to its federal filing.
It also has handled US Congressional meetings for Coalition members and managed its official Twitter account.
Saudi Arabia made a single $500K payment to Qorvis to cover work from October through December of 2013.
Qorvis continues Mideast work for the Kurdistan Regional Government, which is fighting ISIS and positioning for a post-Iraq future, and human rights-challenged Bahrain, a satellite state of Saudi Arabia.
Publicis Groupe owns Qorvis.
