Lavrov Discusses the Main Reason Behind Assad’s Fall

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov asserted that the collapse of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s regime was due to its failure to address the social and economic crises that the country suffered from. He indicated that this failure was the primary reason for the regime’s downfall.

Lavrov, in his latest statements, explained that the Astana talks, involving Turkey and Iran on de-escalation zones, did not fully achieve their objectives because Assad rejected calls to normalize relations with Turkey.
