Following the overthrow of the Assad administration in Syria by jihadist armed groups led by the terrorist organization HTS, restructuring for the "new" army continues.

There are currently 13 HTS and 27 Al-Qaeda militants on the Ministry of Interior's 'Wanted Terrorists' list. 

Meanwhile, Ahmed al-Shara, known as 'Jolani', the leader of HTS who is attempting to shape the administration in Syria, continues to make various appointments.

Among these appointments, Turkish citizen Ömer Çiftçi, codenamed 'Muhtar Türki', was appointed as a brigadier general by Jolani. 

It was revealed that Çiftçi was on the Ministry of Interior's 'Wanted Terrorists' list.

REMOVED OVERNIGHT

According to a report by Alican Uludağ from Now Haber, it has emerged that Çiftçi's name was removed from the Ministry of Interior's 'Wanted Terrorists' list overnight following the exposure of the news. 

It is alleged that the decision to remove him was made under the instruction of Minister of Interior Ali Yerlikaya. 

Turkey had declared Al-Qaeda, which was active in the region in the past, and HTS, which seized control of the administration in Syria, as terrorist organizations in 2018.
