Syrian Prime Minister Mohammed al-Bashir:

Clash Report Exclusive

Syrian opposition officials, who are working on forming the new government in Damascus, told Clash Report that maintaining Syria’s territorial integrity and sovereignty is their top priority.

The officials stated that they would not tolerate any elements, including the PKK, that threaten the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Syria under the new government.

Vitali Arkov, head of the Russia-based PolitRus Analysis Center, shared his insights on developments in Syria with the Istanbul-based news outlet gdh.

Arkov:

I believe the fate of Assad was decided during the recent meeting between President Erdoğan and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

I think Assad was convinced to accept a transition process without bloodshed in Damascus, with security guarantees provided for him and his family in exchange for leaving the country.

The winner of this process is Türkiye. Türkiye’s increasing influence in Aleppo will not be limited to Syria but will also accelerate Ankara’s projection toward the Turkic World.

Russian Foreign Ministry:

If someone hopes Moscow will make concessions over Ukraine, they have a short memory.

Clash Report EXCLUSIVE: According to Russian sources approached by Clash Report, the Kremlin is in direct contact with Syrian forces that captured Damascus and has agreed in principle on returning to military bases in Syria.

Russian officials emphasized they never fully withdrew from Syria, maintaining a core military presence at the bases.

Syrian forces reportedly stated there was no need for Russia to leave the country.

Turkish President Erdoğan:

Our Syrian brothers and sisters are now free.

Donald Trump:

The Syrians will have to defend themselves because we are not involved there.

The Middle East is important, but I think managing it is less difficult than managing Ukraine and Russia.
