Syria's actual leader Ahmed al -Sharaa was appointed president for the “transitional period”, a state -owned report, seven weeks after he led the rebel offensive, which he took off Bashar al -Assad.
Rebel military commander Hasan Abdul Ghani also announced the cancellation of the Constitution of Syria in 2012 and the termination of the agencies for parliament, the army and security of the former regime, according to Sana News.
As President Sharaa, he will form a temporary legislative council to help govern until a new constitution is approved, he said.
All rebel groups that opposed Assad in the 13-year Civil War will be dissolved and integrated into state institutions, he added.
The messages came during a Damascus meeting on Wednesday, attended by the commanders of factions, who fought with the rebel Union, led by the Islamist Charaa Hayat Al Sham (HTS) Islamist group.
HTS – a former al -Qaeda branch, which is still defined as a UN terrorist organization, the US, the EU and the United Kingdom – previously dominated the last rebel fortress in northwestern Syria.
In 2011, Assad brutally lubricated a peacefully pro -democratic uprising, igniting a civil war that killed more than half a million people and 12 million others forced to escape from their homes.
On December 8, when the rebels entered Damascus after heading for the army and descending from the north within only 12 days, Assad resigned the presidency and fled to Russia.
Temporary government, led by Mohammed Al Bashir, former head of the rebel administration in the northwest, is tasked with governing the country until March.
Earlier on Tuesday, the Syrian government called on Russia to turn to “past mistakes” by paying war reparations during the first visit to the Kremlin's top delegation after the fall of Assad, its unwavering ally.
Sharaa and Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov discussed “the restoration of confidence with the Syrian people through specific measures such as compensation, reconstruction and recovery,” Sana reported.
The Russian Foreign Ministry said its delegation expressed “unwavering support” for Syria's unity and willingness to help restore it from the Civil War.
The Russian military committed tens of thousands of air strikes by rebel areas after intervening in the conflict in support of Assad in 2015. The UK -based monitoring group says over 21,000 people, including 8,700 civilians, were killed by these strikes and other Russian operations.
After the fall of the Assad regime, Russia withdrew troops and weapons from its two bases on the Mediterranean coast of Syria – Hmeimim Air Base near Latakia and Naval Base at Tartous
The latest satellite photos analyzed by the BBC show that two Russian warships have been touched in tartousThe experts said that an evacuation of the facility had begun.
However, it is believed that Russia seeks to preserve both bases that give it strategically important support in the Eastern Mediterranean.
After a visit to the Russian delegation to Damascus, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters in Moscow: “This was an important trip and contacts were also important because it was necessary to establish and maintain a constant dialogue with Syria.”
Asked the reports that the Syrian government had requested reparations of the extradition and war of Assad in return, he replied: “I leave this without comment. We will continue a further dialogue with the Syrian authorities.”
In an interview with Al Arabiya television, at the end of last month, Sharaa noted “the deep strategic interests between Russia and Syria” and said it did not want Russia to leave “in a way that undermines its relations with our country.”
“All Syria's weapons are of Russian origin and many power plants are operated by Russian experts,” he added.
