RIYADH: Saudi Arabia has vowed to do everything possible to prevent chaos in the country and the region after the ouster of President Bashar al-Assad.
According to international media, the Saudi official said that talks are ongoing with neighboring countries, including Turkey, and other stakeholders.
The official added that Saudi Arabia has no information about the current whereabouts of Bashar al-Assad, although reports indicate that he left on a plane.
The statement said that Assad’s failure was due to excluding opposition parties and other stakeholders from the political and reconciliation process.
The official added that the Turkish government tried to negotiate and coordinate with the Assad government, but these efforts were rejected.
Saudi Arabia warned that avoiding constructive dialogue with the opposition and various stakeholders will not yield positive results for Syria.
The Saudi official also said that Assad was urged to address the severity of the current uncertainty, but unfortunately, no meaningful steps were taken by Syria.
It is worth noting that Bashar al-Assad met with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman during the Arab League summit.
