Senior Emirati diplomat declines to answer if Assad was heading to UAE
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleSenior Emirati diplomat Anwar Gargash dismisses a question directly asking him if ousted Syrian president Bashar al-Assad was going to the United Arab Emirates, saying it was a “footnote in history,” without answering.
There has been speculation Assad could flee to the UAE, where his extended family is known to own properties in Dubai. Flight-tracking data showed private jets moving yesterday between Damascus, Syria and the UAE.
Gargash is speaking at the International Institute of Strategic Studies’ Manama Dialogue in Bahrain.
