Faruk al-Sharaa

Faruk al-Sharaa ( Arabic فاروق الشرع, DMG Fārūq aš-Šarʿ , French Farouk al-Chareh , born December 10, 1938 in Darʿā ) is a Syrian politician and diplomat. Scharaa was Syria's Foreign Minister from 1984 and has been Vice President of Syria since 2006 .

Life

In 2006, Faruk al-Scharaa succeeded Zuhair Maschariqa , who resigned for health reasons, as Vice President . In January 2012, a plan by the Arab League (AL) failed to transfer the powers of President Bashar al-Assad to Faruk al-Sharaa. Iraq , among others, had spoken out against this . Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki feared that the fall of Assad would result in an irreconcilable struggle in Syria. Members of the Iraqi government had also expressed concern that the rise of a Sunnis to power could lead to a renewed uprising in the western Anbar province of Iraq . In Syria there were mass demonstrations for Assad across the country, as reported by Russia's state news agency RIA Novosti . The president's supporters saw the plan as a “gross violation of Syrian sovereignty”.

In an interview with the broadcaster al-Arabija on August 18, 2012, a spokesman for the FSA said that Farouk al-Sharaa had fled to Jordan . The government denied this. On August 26th, Sharaa appeared again in public after more than a month. He showed up before a meeting with an Iranian official in Damascus . On July 8, 2013, the entire leadership of the ruling Ba'ath Party , including al-Sharaa, was dismissed, although he officially continues to serve as vice president.
