Era of Western interference is over: US special envoy for Syria

US special envoy for Syria Tom Barrack said that the era of Western interference is over, adding, "The future belongs to regional solutions, but partnerships, and a diplomacy grounded in respect." "Sykes-Picot divided Syria and the broader region for imperial gain, not peace," Barrack added. "That mistake cost generations. We will not make it again," he stated.
