US issues demands to new Syrian government in exchange for sanctions relief

The US described the formation of a new Syrian government as a positive step, but stated that sanctions would not be lifted until progress on priorities such as combating "terrorism" had been verified.

“We recognize the struggles of the Syrian people who have suffered decades under despotic rule and oppression of the Assad regime, and we hope this announcement represents a positive step for an inclusive and representative Syria,” State Department spokeswoman Tammy Bruce told reporters.

“However, Syria’s interim authorities should fully renounce and suppress terrorism, exclude foreign terrorist fighters from any official roles prevent Iran and its proxies from exploiting Syrian territory,” Bruce said.

She also urged the interim authorities to "take meaningful steps to verifiably destroy Assad's chemical weapons, assist in the recovery of US and other citizens who have gone missing in Syria, and ensure the security and freedoms of Syria's religious and ethnic minorities."

Regarding sanctions, "any change in US policy toward Syria's interim authorities will be contingent on all of those steps being taken," she stated.
