Mohamad Fawaz Mehmet Emin Cengiz | 17 December 2024 | AR

The Syrian regime’s 61-year-old tyranny has finally fallen. The country's new rulers have been trying to pave the way for a political transitional process. Regional countries also do not stay idle in this new period. Some regional countries have already started engaging in political talks with HTS and its allies through the Department of Political Affairs of the new government in the country. So far, meetings have been held with ambassadors of Iraq, Bahrain, Oman, Egypt, UAE, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and Italy. It was also announced that Qatar would soon open its embassy in Damascus.

December 8th, 2024: A Full-Fledged Popular Revolution in Syria

Mehmet Emin Cengiz | 12 December 2024 | AR

The 61-year-old regime has finally fallen in Syria. The tyranny of the Baath Party that seized power in the country in 1963 later turned into the Assad clan’s dynasty in 1970 through an intra-party coup Hafez Assad called the 'Corrective Movement,' was consigned to history with a popular revolution on December 8th, 2024, after only a 12-day-long military operation. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the dizzying developments have far exceeded expectations even for seasoned Syria experts following the crisis for many years.
