As a new era begins in Syria following the overthrow of the 61-year Baath regime, the country has entered a reconstruction process led by the head of the transitional government, Ahmed Esh-Shara.

2 MINISTERS WENT TO THE CAPITAL DAMASCUS

While the whole world closely follows the developments in Syria, in this context, French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot went to the capital Damascus together with German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock.

EU HAS A STATEMENT

European Union (EU) High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Kaja Kallas made statements regarding the visit of the two ministers to Damascus. Kallas stated that Barrot and Baerbock were there representing the EU on his behalf, saying, "Our message to Syria's new leadership is that it is extremely important to respect the principles agreed upon with regional actors and to ensure the protection of all civilians and minorities."

THE BULLET-PROOF VESTS ATTRACTED ATTENTION

It did not go unnoticed that German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock and her delegation wore bulletproof vests upon arriving in Damascus, and it was observed that they arrived by military aircraft.

ATTENTION-GRABBING MESSAGE BEFORE THE VISIT

On the other hand, speaking before her visit to Damascus, German Foreign Minister Baerbock had put forward conditions for the temporary government officials in Syria to restart their relations with Germany and the EU. She stated that a new political beginning between Syria and Germany and the EU was possible. Barrot and Baerbock became the first EU foreign ministers to visit Syria since the overthrow of Assad.
