"Assad has fallen. This has always been the fate of all dictators who rely on [illegitimate President of the Russian Federation Vladimir] Putin. He always betrays those who depend on him. The main goal now is to restore security in Syria and effectively protect people from violence," wrote the Foreign Minister.
He emphasized the need to stabilize the region and ensure political dialogue in the country to facilitate the functioning of state institutions.
"We express our readiness to pave the way for the renewal of relations in the future and reaffirm our support for the Syrian people," added Sybiha.
