Syrian President Ahmed Al-sharaa Has Signed a Decree Appointing Ferhat Abdi

The decree, numbered 164, formalizes the appointment of the former leader of the dissolved SDF-YPG alliance. The appointment was part of an agreement reached between the Syrian government and the SDF. Under the terms of that deal, armed YPG elements are to join the Syrian army.

Şahin's specific duties and responsibilities have not yet been clearly defined. It remains unclear on which policy areas he will provide input in his new advisory role. The decree was signed by President al-Sharaa, who had previously led the forces that toppled the Assad government before assuming the presidency.
