The first known face-to-face talks between the Syrian government and Hezbollah since the fall of Bashar al-Assad took place secretly in Turkey in September, according to Reuters.
The meeting was pushed by Turkish security and intelligence agencies and focused on easing tensions between the two sides.
Syrian officials assured Hezbollah that Damascus would not intervene militarily in Lebanon to disarm the group. In return, Syria asked Hezbollah to halt cross-border arms smuggling and to dismantle the cells it still maintains inside Syria.
Hezbollah pledged not to interfere in Syrian affairs. It gave no direct answer on the smuggling or the cells.
No final agreement was reached.
