United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres said Sunday that the fall of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad after a long civil war was a “historic opportunity” for the country, adding that it was up to Syrians to determine their future, APA reports citing Agencia EFE.
“After 14 years of brutal war and the fall of the dictatorial regime, today the people of Syria can seize an historic opportunity to build a stable and peaceful future. The future of Syria is a matter for the Syrians to determine,” Guterres said in a statement.
