Europe won’t support ‘new Islamist structures in Syria,’ visiting German FM says

Lifting sanctions on Syria will depend on the political process going forward, German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock says in Damascus after meeting with the country’s de facto leader.

Europe will not fund the creation of new Islamist structures in Syria, Baerbock adds during a press conference.

“Europe will support, but Europe would not be a sponsor of new Islamist structures,” Baerbock says.
