PNN – The Foreign Policy website wrote: Now that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad is gone, an unknown future awaits this deeply troubled country.
According to the report of Pakistan News Network, this American media referring to the arrival of the armed opposition group Tahrir al-Sham in important Syrian cities including Aleppo, Hama and Homs in less than two weeks that forced Bashar al-Assad to leave Syria, wrote: The unexpected fall of the Assad government has faced the diplomats with the challenge of maintaining peace and tranquility, especially considering the events and possible consequences caused by the sudden power vacuum in a country where armed groups, Islamist extremists and foreign powers have been for a long time.
UN Special Envoy for Syria Geir Pedersen said on Sunday that “contradictory messages” were being sent from Damascus. However, he stressed the necessity of “preventing bloodshed” in this country and called for negotiations and preparations for the structure of the transitional government.
According to Foreign Policy, the immediate priority of the international community is to protect Syria’s stockpiles of chemical weapons to prevent them from falling into the hands of armed groups.
Türkiye’s Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said in a press conference on Sunday: Any stockpile of chemical weapons or related materials must be protected.

Reuters: Türkiye was aware of the plan of the Syrian opposition since 6 months ago
According to Foreign Policy, the Zionist Jerusalem Post newspaper claimed on Sunday that the regime’s air forces attacked the chemical weapons factory to prevent it from falling into the hands of the rebels.
This media noted: It seems that Türkiye has given the green light to Tahrir al-Sham’s attacks, although this country officially denies this issue. The Syrian National Army is Turkey’s main proxy group and a coalition of militias with complex ties to Tahrir al-Sham, and Ankara appears to have a wide influence in Syria in the coming developments.
Referring to the fact that his government has not had any contact with Assad, Fidan said: the new Syrian government must be formed in an orderly manner. The principle of inclusiveness should not be compromised. There should never be a desire for revenge.
Fidan also said: There is no place for the Syrian Democratic Forces under the command of the Kurds in the future of Syria. An issue that shows the complexity of the events in the coming weeks and months in Syria.
Turkey considers the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces, which control a third of northeastern Syria, to be the continuation of its bitter enemy, the Kurdistan Workers’ Party, or PKK, in Syria. The fate of the Kurds in Syria faces an unpredictable future.
In Russia, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Saturday at the Doha meeting in Qatar that Moscow is taking every measure to ensure that “terrorists” do not prevail in Syria. He mentioned the Tahrir al-Sham group, which is on the terrorist list of the United Nations and the United States, and its leaders have been trying to show that they have adopted more moderate positions in recent years.
Referring to Lavrov’s meetings with his Iranian and Turkish counterparts on the sidelines of the Doha meeting, this report added that the ministers of the three countries in a joint statement called for an end to military operations and finding a political solution based on UN Resolution 2254. This resolution was adopted in 2015 and calls for a ceasefire and a political solution.
Charles Lister, director of the Syria program at the Washington Middle East Institute, said: On the one hand, it’s surprising and remarkable that one of the worst war criminals in a very long time has gotten away. But his departure has created a difficult situation that no one can predict the future of.
