Summary
Turkey, Russia, and Iran, key external actors in the Syrian crisis, called for renewed dialogue between Assad and opposition groups.
Amidst reports of Russian diplomats fleeing Damascus, Russia expressed concern about the advance of Islamist groups, particularly HTS, and urged the opposition to end the fighting.
While Turkey supports the rebel advance, Iran and Russia view HTS as a terrorist group, highlighting the complexities and divisions in the Syrian conflict.
There ale reports that rebels claim that institutions will be preserved for 18 month transition to prepare for free election.
That would be mind blowing if true, though while I am hopeful I’m still skeptical if that will actually happen.
