“The 2012 constitution, as well as all laws adopted under emergency procedures, are no longer in effect,” the department noted on its Telegram channel.
For the transitional period, Ahmed al-Sharaa was declared the head of the new administration of the interim government of Syria.
The new authorities also announced the dissolution of the Baath Party, which has ruled Syria for more than 60 years, the country's parliament, all security services and armed groups.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, on December 8, 2024, Bashar al-Assad resigned as president and left Syria, ordering a peaceful transfer of power. He and his family arrived in Russia, where they were granted asylum. On December 10, 2024, Mohammed al-Bashir announced his appointment as head of the Syrian government for a transitional period that will last until March 1, 2025. The de facto leader of Syria was Ahmed al-Sharaa, head of the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham group (banned in Russia and recognized as terrorist).
On January 28, the Russian interdepartmental delegation held talks in Damascus with the head of the Syrian administration, Ahmed al-Sharaa. The nearly three-hour meeting was generally constructive, said Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov. The parties discussed a number of issues, including further mutually beneficial cooperation. At the meeting, Russia also called for resolving problematic issues in Syria through dialogue with the participation of all political forces in the country and ethno-confessional groups.
