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.

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.
