Mon Dec 23 12:20:20 UTC 2024: ## Kremlin Denies Reports of Assad Divorce and House Arrest in Moscow
**Moscow, Russia** – The Kremlin today vehemently denied Turkish media reports claiming that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s wife, Asma al-Assad, had filed for divorce in Russia and that Assad himself was under house arrest with frozen assets.
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov dismissed the reports as inaccurate during a press call, stating simply, “No, they do not correspond to reality.” The reports, which circulated in Turkish and Arabic media on Sunday, alleged that Asma al-Assad sought a divorce following the Assad family’s purported asylum in Russia after a rebel takeover of Damascus. Peskov’s statement refutes all aspects of these claims.
