German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock warned Syria’s new leaders Friday not to establish an Islamist government after the overthrow of longtime ruler Bashar al-Assad last month.
“Europe will support” Syria in its transition “but Europe will not finance new Islamist structures,” Baerbock told reporters at the end of a visit to Syria, adding: “This is not only in our own security interests but also what I have heard time and again from very many Syrians in Germany… and here in the region.”
