Due to the new Syrian government, European Union sanctions expected to be removed

The old Syrian government was overthrown a month ago by a rebel group known as HTS, which has ties to the Turkish government. The group has been designated a terrorist group by the entire European Union, the United States, and the United Kingdom. While the HTS has been considered a radical Islamist group and once had ties to Al-Qaeda, they have claimed that they are willing to allow a democratic process in the nation and not persecute ethnic or religious minorities. The European Union has been considering removing sanctions on Transport and Energy, which could go a long way in helping the Syrian people and allowing refugees to return home. It could also allow for more legitimacy for the new government by the European Union.
