Striking statement from Russia: The reason for the change of power is Assad's inability to solve problems.

On November 27, the opposition groups led by Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) began their operations and advanced to the capital, Damascus, in just 12 days. Following the advance of the opposition to Damascus, the 61-year Ba'ath regime came to an end, and Bashar al-Assad fled to Russia.

PUTIN GAVE THE ASYLUM APPROVAL

In a statement from the Kremlin regarding Assad's flight to Russia, it was noted that the asylum approval was personally granted by President Vladimir Putin.

"THE CHANGE OF POWER STEMMED FROM ASSAD'S INCOMPETENCE"

A striking statement was made regarding Assad, who took billions of dollars to Russia. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated that Assad managed to subjugate his people for years thanks to Russia. According to the Russian news agency Tass, Lavrov said that the rapid change of power in Syria about three weeks ago stemmed from Bashar al-Assad's incompetence. Lavrov also mentioned that Assad was unable to solve the social problems in the country. The latest statement from Russia raised the question, "Is Moscow turning its back on Assad?"

RUSSIA IN CONTACT WITH NEW SYRIAN LEADERS

Russia, which has not cut off its contact with Syria, continues to hold discussions with new leaders. Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Maria Zakharova stated that they are in contact with all political forces in Syria and emphasized that the security of Russian citizens and military-political elements is on their agenda.

Zakharova said, "The security of Russian citizens in Syria, the inviolability of Russian elements and representations is a priority issue for us. This includes diplomatic, military elements, and commercial companies. There is no other way than to comply with international legal norms that regulate the status and activities of Russian institutions in Syria, including the Vienna Conventions."

Stating that they are in contact with all political forces in Syria, Zakharova noted that a comprehensive political process should be initiated in Syria within the framework of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) resolutions.
