Syria's interim President Ahmed al-Sharaa pledged Tuesday to ensure a state monopoly on weapons at a national dialogue conference, saying his country was at a "new historic phase" after Bashar al-Assad's overthrow.
Hundreds of people are attending the conference at the presidential palace in Damascus, hastily organised by the authorities as part of the war-torn country's post-Assad transition.
