The new Syrian authorities expect to receive multi-billion dollar compensation.

The interim government of the country where the president was recently overthrown will present a bill to Iran.

The issue concerns compensation in the amount of $300 billion, reports the Lebanese newspaper Al Modon .

The reason given is the long-term assistance to Bashar al-Assad and the armed forces under his control.

The new government in Damascus views this sum as reparations for the damage caused during the long conflict.

Iran assesses this demand differently, the publication notes.

In Tehran, the transitional government is called the successor to the past.

Because of this, Iran is counting on repaying the debt with the aid already provided.

It is noted that full contact between the parties has not yet been established.

Former President Assad is currently in Moscow with his family.

At the same time, Russia continues to own military bases on Syrian territory.

Russian diplomats previously reported that they were ready to establish contacts with the transitional government of the Middle Eastern republic.
