Numerous Syrians failed to make transactions at ATMs of Syrian banks, which opened 10 days after the Assad regime collapsed, due to lack of money.
“I have been waiting in line since morning. They say there is no money. Everyone is waiting to get their money,” said Muhammed Al Hassan.
“I am here to collect my pension. We cannot withdraw money from ATMs because there is none. We do not even have 5 liras left. We do not know what to do,” said Fatma Al Ahmed.
It has been alleged that Bashar Assad emptied the treasury through state banks before fleeing to Russia.
