Syria's New Leaders Call for Military Integration

News summary

In a significant shift following the overthrow of Bashar al-Assad, Syria's new leader Ahmed al-Sharaa announced plans to integrate all autonomous militias into the state army and place all weapons under state control. During a press conference with Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan, al-Sharaa emphasized that armed factions would soon dissolve to join the military, rejecting any arms outside state oversight, particularly those held by Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). Fidan urged the international community to lift sanctions against Syria, highlighting Turkey's strategic interests in the region. The Turkish government views the SDF as linked to the PKK, which it designates as a terrorist organization. Al-Sharaa also expressed a commitment to protect minority groups from sectarian violence, asserting that Syria is a country for all and emphasizing coexistence. This diplomatic maneuvering indicates a potential reorganization of power dynamics in post-Assad Syria.
