Syrian Government
The government of Syria takes place in a presidential system and is currently in a transitionary period under and led by a transitional government. The seat of the government is located in Damascus, Syria. On 8 December 2024, after the successful Syrian rebel offensives resulted in the fall of Damascus and the ouster of former president Bashar al-Assad, many former government officials under Assad's regime fled to neighboring countries for sanctuary. Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham, the dominant opposition faction, has tasked Prime Minister Mohammed al-Bashir of the Syrian Salvation Government to head the Syrian caretaker government. On 29 January 2025, Ahmed al-Sharaa was appointed President of Syria by the Syrian General Command for the transitional period during the Syrian Revolution Victory Conference in Damascus, after serving as the '' de facto'' leader following the fall of the Assad regime.

Emblem Of Syria
The emblem of Syria is the unofficial emblem of Syria. It features a gold-coloured Hawk of Quraish faced to the left (dexter) with an Arabic shield in the centre inscribed with the official flag and two wheat stalks symbolising fertility and life. The eagle holds in its claws a ribbon inscribed in Modern Arabic script that is titled "Syrian Arab Republic". This version, which is a modified version of the emblem adopted in 1980, has been used by the transitional government since 8 December 2024 after the armed opposition took control of the capital Damascus. Since the establishment of the Syrian Republic on 14 May 1930, Syria has had several emblems, albeit fairly consistent in composition – a supporter (often the sinister-faced Hawk of Quraish) bearing a shield, with the official Arabic name of the country on a scroll beneath.
