ISTANBUL: Syrian armed factions agreed on Tuesday to dissolve themselves and merge under the Defence Ministry, Anadolu Agency (AA) reported, citing state media.
The state news agency SANA said the move was taken during a meeting in Damascus between the head of Syria's new administration Ahmed al-Sharaa and representatives of the revolutionary factions in the country.
Bashar Assad, Syria's leader for nearly 25 years, fled to Russia after anti-regime groups took control of Damascus on Dec 8, ending the Baath Party regime, which had been in power since 1963.
The takeover came after Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) fighters captured key cities in a lightning offensive that lasted less than two weeks.
