UN investigator hopes to improve ties with Syria after visit

A U.N. investigator expressed hope Thursday of a “good relationship” with Syria’s new rulers as he wrapped up a first visit by his inquiry team, which was barred by ousted president Bashar al-Assad 13 years ago.

“It is a huge surprise to be in Damascus,” said Hanny Megally of the U.N. Commission of Inquiry on Syria (COI), expressing optimism that “we have an interlocutor we can work with.”

“We hope to be able to have a good relationship with the authorities now in place,” he told AFP.
