(ANSA) - ROME, DEC 8 - Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani said Sunday the transition of power from Bashar al-Assad to pro-Turkish Islamist rebels and others in Syria should be political and not military.
    In Syria, he said, "we hope for a peaceful handover between the regime that fell and the new reality. That there be a political and not military transition. It seems to me that at the moment things are going in this direction. It is important that the political unity of Syria remains". (ANSA).
