Erdoğan-led Mediation Could Remove Syria from Terror List
President Syrian Ahmed al-Sharîk confirmed that the United States is moving toward removing Syria from the list of state sponsors of terrorism, a designation that has been in place since 1979. This potential change comes after the Caesar Act was lifted, with mediation from Turkey and Saudi Arabia. Regarding the legislative process, he explained that the removal will be presented to Congress for 45 days to prevent any objections, after which the final cancellation decision will be issued with the signature of the U.S. President. He also mentioned ongoing discussions with Russia about reducing its military presence in Syria, emphasizing that relations with Moscow are heading toward a new chapter. Al-Sharîk stressed the importance of respecting Syria's sovereignty and territorial integrity, affirming that Damascus supports the sovereignty of Lebanese institutions and is working to restore the rights of the Kurdish community. Additionally, he highlighted increasing domestic investment and facilitation measures for more than 3.4 million displaced persons and refugees over the past 18 months.
