By Feras DalateyJuly 1 (Reuters) - Syrian authorities announced the names of 70 lawmakers on Wednesday appointed to atransitional parliament by President Ahmed al-Sharaa, paving the way to convene the body next week more than eight months after the process of forming it began.The 210-member chamber, two-thirds of which was chosen by regional electoral colleges last year, will wield limited power under a presidential ruling system established under Sharaa since he ousted Bashar al-Assad in 2024.
