Описание: Under heavy security and the hum of police helicopters, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz received Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa at the Federal Chancellery on Monday. The meeting marks the most significant diplomatic outreach to Damascus by a Western power since the transition of power in Syria. The visit, occurring as the Middle East is engulfed in the Iran-Israel War, signals Germany’s intent to anchor the "New Syria" within a European sphere of influence, focusing on economic reconstruction and regional neutrality.
