DAMASCUS, Dec 8 (Reuters) - Syrian rebels seized the capital Damascus
unopposed on Sunday after a lightning advance that sent President Bashar
al-Assad fleeing to Russia after a 13-year civil war and six decades of
his family's autocratic rule.
In one of the biggest turning points for the Middle East in generations,
the fall of Assad's government wiped out a bastion from which Iran and
Russia exercised influence across the Arab world. Moscow gave asylum to
Assad and his family, Mikhail Ulyanov, Russia's ambassador to
international organizations in Vienna, said on his Telegram channel.
His sudden overthrow, at the hands of a revolt partly backed by Turkey
and with roots in jihadist Sunni Islam, limits Iran's ability to spread
weapons to its allies and could cost Russia its Mediterranean naval
base. It could allow millions of refugees scattered for more than a
decade in camps across Turkey, Lebanon and Jordan to finally return home.
