A joint decision from the tribes in Aleppo: They will support the new administration in Syria.

Due to the civil war that began in Syria in the spring of 2011, millions of people were forced to leave their homes. While millions of people were displaced within the country to different regions, nearly 4 million Syrians crossed the border and sought refuge in Turkey. The Syrian civil war, in which more than 1 million people lost their lives, ended on December 8 with an operation initiated by the opposition on November 27.

NEGOTIATIONS AMONG TRIBES HAVE STARTED

With Bashar al-Assad's departure from the country, the Baath regime came to an end in Syria, and control passed to the opposition. The end of Assad's era was met with great joy in the country, and not only the opposition groups but also the tribes in the country began to gather and hold meetings regarding the new era.

WISHING FOR PEACE IN THE NEW ERA

The tribal representatives from the region, who came together in Aleppo, the country's second-largest city, also decided to provide all kinds of support to the administration that will be formed in the new era. The tribal leaders, who gathered near the historic Aleppo Castle, expressed their happiness at the end of Assad's era and wished that the new era would bring freedom, democracy, and peace to Syria.

"WE ARE VERY HAPPY THAT ASSAD AND THE BAATH REGIME ARE GONE"

The tribal leaders stated that Turkey provided the greatest support to Syria during the challenging 13-year process and that it was impossible for them to forget this. They expressed that Turkey would continue to be their greatest guide in the future. Hasan El Cerruh, the leader of the Cerruh Tribe, one of the largest tribes in Aleppo, said that the end of Assad's era made them very happy. Cerruh conveyed that the new era in Syria would bring peace and happiness, stating, "We are very happy that Assad and the Baath regime are gone. Now everything will be much better. The war is over, peace has come. Now it is time to rebuild Syria. Together with the tribes and our people, we will join hands to establish the new Syria. Turkey provided us with the greatest support during the war, and we are grateful to Turkey."

"PRESIDENT ERDOĞAN IS THE GREATEST FRIEND OF US SYRIANS"

Abdulseddar İdris, the leader of the Asasne tribe, stated that December 8 is a milestone for the future of Syria and that everything will be beautiful from now on. İdris emphasized that they would do their best as tribes to help Syria rise again, saying, "Now it is time to work and rebuild our country. Everyone is in agreement on this. We now invite our people who are outside the country, especially those in Turkey, to come back to our country. We call on everyone to come to Aleppo and Syria to rebuild it. Turkey and President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan are the greatest friends of us Syrians. We are grateful to him for being by our side all these years, for taking care of our people, and for opening his homeland to save us from death. From now on, Turkey and Recep Tayyip Erdoğan will be our guide. Hopefully, soon Turkey and Syria will develop together as two neighboring and brotherly countries," he said.
