Rome, Italy - January 09, 2025 The Italian Foreign Minister, Antonio Tajani, received his counterparts from the United States, France, Germany, and the United Kingdom this Thursday in Rome to encourage a transition that makes Syria a "stable" country and allows for the return of refugees. Camera: DANIEL CÁCERES STATEMENTS BY ANTONIO TAJANI, ITALIAN MINISTER OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS. “As for the sanctions, we have to talk about them, the situation in Syria has changed, so we have to see if the attitude of the European Union will also change. As you know, the sanctions of the European countries are decided jointly, but in my opinion it is an issue that needs to be addressed because Assad is no longer there. There is a new situation and I think we have to continue to encourage the encouraging signs that are taking place.” “We are at the beginning of a new season, I don't think anyone wants to conduct military operations right now. If the Kurdish militias disband, they will become part of the Syrian army. The situation will certainly be calmer and, as things stand today, we are heading in that direction.” [Restrictions: Spain, Latin America, or the U.S. Hispanic market]
