Turkey is considering the removal of Syria’s new leaders from its list of terrorism organizations without waiting for similar steps from other countries or the United Nations.
“I think it is time for the international community, starting from the UN, to remove their name from the list,” Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan told Al Jazeera. He was referring to Hayat Tahrir Al-Sham, the Islamist group that controls most of Syria after toppling President Bashar al-Assad earlier this month.
