France on Sunday welcomed the fall of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s authoritative regime following more than a decade of “violent oppression against his own people”.
Paris appealed to the citizens for “unity and reconciliation, and condemned all forms of extremism, reported news agency AFP.
Meanwhile, Turkey urged the rebels overtaking the country not to threaten neighbouring nations.
Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said Turkey had worked with Syrians and regional and international actors to “assure the regional countries that the new administration and new Syria will not pose a threat for its neighbours, on the contrary, the new Syria will address the existing problems, will eliminate the threats”.
He further urged the Syrians displaced by years of civil war can now return ot their homeland.
“Millions of Syrians who were forced to leave their homes can return to their land,” Fidan said at the Doha Forum in Qatar for international dialogue, adding that it was “time to unite and reconstruct the country”.
