The airspace in Syria is reopening to traffic.

The remnants of the regime of Bashar al-Assad, which was overthrown in Syria, have begun to transfer state governance to the opposition led by Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS). HTS has chosen Muhammad al-Bashir, known for his closeness to the organization, to serve as the prime minister in the transitional government. Al-Bashir announced that he would serve until March 2025.

CONSTITUTION AND PARLIAMENT SUSPENDED

The new government spokesperson for Syria, Obaida Arnaout, stated in an interview with the AFP news agency that the country's constitution and parliament would be suspended during the three-month transitional period following the overthrow of President Bashar al-Assad.

AIRSPACE WILL BE OPENED TO TRAFFIC

Meanwhile, the Minister of Communications, Transportation, and Industry of the interim government, Muhammad Yasin Naccar, announced that the airspace would be opened to traffic in the coming hours. Naccar also stated that the airports in Aleppo and Damascus would be operational within a few days.

DEVELOPMENTS IN SYRIA

On November 27, clashes intensified between regime-opposing armed groups and Bashar al-Assad's forces in Syria. The groups had gained dominance in the largest cities such as Aleppo, Idlib, Hama, and Homs between November 30 and December 7. As the groups began to enter the capital Damascus on December 7, with support from the masses, the regime completely lost control in Damascus and many other regions, leading to its collapse. The 61-year rule of the Ba'ath Party came to an end, and regime leader Assad fled the capital.

Additionally, the Syrian National Army had liberated the center of the Tel Rifaat district from the terrorist organization PKK/YPG on the first day of the Operation Dawn of Freedom, which was launched in December. With the liberation of the Manbij district during the operation, the region, which had turned into the largest terrorist stronghold west of the Euphrates River, was cleared of PKK/YPG.
