Syria factions agree to dissolve, merge under defense ministry
- Move taken during meeting between Ahmed al-Sharaa, head of Syria’s new administration and revolutionary factions

ISTANBUL (AA) – Syrian armed factions agreed on Tuesday to dissolve themselves and merge under the Defense Ministry, state media said.
The state news agency SANA said the move was taken during a meeting in Damascus between the head of Syria’s new administration Ahmed al-Sharaa and representatives of the revolutionary factions in the country.
Bashar Assad, Syria’s leader for nearly 25 years, fled to Russia after anti-regime groups took control of Damascus on Dec. 8, ending the Baath Party regime, which had been in power since 1963.
The takeover came after Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) fighters captured key cities in a lightning offensive that lasted less than two weeks.
